Entry Requirements


For entry on to A Level and BTEC courses, we require a minimum of 6 GCSE grades 4 or above, including English Language and Mathematics at grade 4 or higher.


Level 2 BTEC qualifications will only count as 1 GCSE. If more than 1 is studied, only the best will count towards the entry requirements. GCSE short courses will not be included.

In addition, our courses have subject-specific entry requirements outlined in the prospectus.

To maximise both performance and progression, the following total points from your GCSE grades will be used to guide your choices:

36 points Students have full choice of any course, subject to course requirements
30-35 points Students select 1 project-based element qualification
