The traditional two ‘A’ levels are not normally a prerequisite for participation in this course.

If you are a mature applicant who lacks formal academic qualifications, you may be admitted to the course if you can satisfy the Course Committee of your ability to complete the course satisfactorily.

Exemptions may be granted from parts of the course where you already hold a higher academic or professional qualification providing evidence of relevant previous studies.

The Course Committee can consider exemption for up to 240 credit points within the programme at level four (equivalent to Year 1 of the full-time programme) or level five (equivalent to Year 2).

Exemption is granted on the basis of recent, relevant study.

The programme is fully compliant with the University’s Credit accumulation and transfer system (CATS) and students are eligible to transfer to other relevant programmes.


Exemptions- based on previous successfully completed accredited learning (completed within the previous 9 years) students can seek exemption from up to two-thirds of the programme. While an indication of likely exemptions can be given prior to entry, exemptions are confirmed during the Induction process at the time of entry.
