Entry Requirements for the Foundation degree in Business and Management

Successful applicants to the programme will have a combination of academic qualifications, experience and motivation and show the potential to complete their chosen course successfully.

In practice, those aged under 21 should, for example, normally have as a minimum one of the following:

• one full 'A' level
• an Advanced GNVQ, NVQ or other level 3 vocational qualification
• an Advanced Modern Apprenticeship which includes level 3 qualifications

Students over the age of 21 when they start their course are not always expected to have formal qualifications. They may be able to gain a place through attending a course which helps them demonstrate the learning from their prior experience.

All entrants need to have GCSE grade C, or its equivalent, in English and Mathematics.

If English is not your first language, IELTS (Academic) 6.0 or equivalent is required.
