ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Please note that a place on your chosen course is not always guaranteed due to the popularity of certain
courses, and that all applicants must satisfy specific entry requirements (entry criteria are detailed on the
course information leaflet). It is therefore important that you check the entry requirements beforehand,
as you will not normally be successful unless you can prove that you meet the entry criteria. If,
unfortunately, you do not meet the entry criteria, we will do our best to find you a place on an alternative
course. You will be asked to provide evidence (e.g. exam certificates) and you will not be able to
complete the enrolment process until you do so.
