Advanced Entry

Most course structures are sufficiently flexible to enable suitably qualified students to enter at Level 2 (2nd year) or sometimes at Level 3 (3rd year) of a 4 year degree. A few courses are unable to offer entry other than to Level 1 (1st year) because students need to complete the full course to obtain maximum exemptions towards professional accreditation.

There are three main types of qualification that can qualify for advanced entry:

• UCAS tariff rated qualifications (A-Levels, Advanced Highers and BTEC National Diploma) at a higher points total than for Level 1 (1st year) entry.
• Vocational qualifications at HND or equivalent.
• Degree level studies elsewhere in the UK eg Open University credits.
