Entry requirements
The minimum general requirements for the Combined and Joint Honours Programme are the same as stated for other degree courses (see general requirements). In the Combined Honours Progamme you will either study three subjects, dropping one subject at the end of the first year, or for a Joint Degree you will study two subjects for all three years. Certain subjects have specific entry requirements and these are detailed in the subject descriptions. Equivalent qualifications will be considered towards meeting both the general or the specific entry requirements. Over and above the minimum requirements, the standard required of applicants to the Combined and Joint Honours Programme, expressed in terms of GCE A-level points; BTEC unit grades, or Advanced GNVQ may vary according to the subject combination applied for. Currently, conditional offers to students usually fall within the spread of 260-300 points. These requirements are an indication only and do not constitute a commitment to prospective applicants. Individual offers will reflect the subject combination applied for and the merits of the application itself.
Mature students
If you are a potential mature student without the normal entry qualifications, we may be able to take into account professional qualifications. If you have not studied recently you may benefit from one of the Foundation Entry courses run at the University or in conjunction with local colleges.
