Entry Requirements
We are committed to providing inclusive education and supporting each student’s individual learning journey.
Our entry requirements are designed to guide appropriate placement on courses, while also recognising that students arrive with different experiences, strengths, and aspirations. Progression within the College is supported through flexible pathways, and students who have studied with us previously will be considered in the context of their progress, commitment, and readiness to move to the next level of study.
In addition to prior qualifications, decisions about entry take account of vocational aptitude, talent, practical ability, and motivation for the chosen subject area. This ensures students are placed on programmes where they can succeed and develop the skills needed for further study, employment, or apprenticeships.
Please note that some programmes may require subject-specific achievements or additional criteria relevant to the area of study. Applicants should refer to individual course pages for full details of any specific entry requirements.
