We accept Higher National Certificate (HNCs) and Higher National Diploma (HNDs) qualifications as suitable entry requirements into Year 1 of our degree courses. We usually ask for students to pass the whole course and obtain Bs or above in their graded units – with the exception of our law degrees, in which we look for As. Some courses may require a higher national in a specific subject.

If you would like to know which certificate or diploma would be most suitable, or if you would like to know if your current course is eligible for advanced entry into one of our courses, please consult the search form below. Select your college course or the degree course you'd like to study. Check the course pages to confirm entry requirements.
