What do we look for?

Grades are only a part of the story, but they’re still important. Your creative thinking, determination and natural curiosity tell us a lot about your character – but so do your qualifications. They can show the drive and resilience it takes to turn your potential into a successful career. We value your qualities and qualifications equally, so it’s important to check the minimum requirements for the programme you choose.

Candidate Zone

If you have international or other equivalent qualifications

If you don’t see your qualification(s) listed in the entry requirements, don’t worry. As a global business, we understand that qualifications come in all shapes and sizes, so don’t be put off applying. Enter them into your application form and we’ll convert them into A-Level equivalents for you. We’ll then let you know if you meet the minimum requirements. If you’d like to know more, please get in touch.

If you narrowly miss the requirements

Being a few grades or points short doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply. We’ve designed our application process to assess everyone’s merits fairly and equally. Sometimes we make adjustments based on personal circumstances, so you could still impress us and secure a place.

If you have extenuating circumstances

We can take extenuating circumstances into account, so if there’s anything we should know, please tell us on your application form. You’ll also need a letter from your headteacher or university tutor to back this up.
