IGCSE and AS level
| Qualification | Academic Requirements |
| IGCSEs |
IGCSEs, and other qualification that are at the same level as GCSEs in the UK education system, on their own are not considered sufficient for Entry to the Foundation. We would normally expect qualifications to be broadly equivalent to the UK AS-Level qualification. IGCSEs would be considered if offered together with additional qualifications. |
| GCE AS Level |
AS Levels will be accepted with a BBB profile, to include Mathematics for the Engineering and Physical Sciences pathway or Biology for our MGLS pathway that progresses to a Biology focused degree. If you are studying for AS Levels we would strongly urge you to continue your studies to A Level as this will provide you with more options for higher education study |
