Entry Requirements
For your application to be considered you must be 18 or over on 31st August prior to the course start date
For applicants aged 18, you will be required to undertake a full-time study programme in the same way as in a school or college setting. A study programme includes the core access qualification plus relevant work experience, tutorial sessions and enrichment activities. Younger applicants must also have achieved GCSE grade C (or grade 4) in both English and Maths. In any case, and for all applicants, many universities require this level of prior qualification. However, you should discuss your prior qualifications with us when you are interviewed for the course.
The course is an intensive year of study designed to prepare you for a university course or apprenticeship. You should be able to read and write English fluently.
First Class Requirements
Please ensure that you have equipment to take and make notes with you in all classes (pen and paper or lap top or a device such as an iPad)
Attendance Requirements
Regular attendance of 100% (apart from exceptional circumstances) is needed to ensure that you can cover all of the course content and assessment successfully.
Assessment Methods
Assessment is carried out throughout the course though regular assignments within each module. You will be expected to produce a range of assessment evidence such as written work, and practical projects. A total of 60 credits is required to pass the course and for graded units, assessment recognises achievement of units at pass, merit and distinction levels.
