Successful applicants usually have three A Levels, but candidates with two A levels will be considered, as will those with alternative qualifications; two AS levels are accepted in place of a third A level, and General Studies is accepted as one of the three A Levels. Key Skills are welcomed in addition and may be included in any offer.

Overseas Qualifications

We welcome students from overseas and will consider applications from students offering international qualifications such as the International or European Baccalaureate.
