The entry requirements for students taking 3 or 4 A levels are seven GCSE's at Grade 4-9, or equivalent, including English and Maths.
While a Grade 6 at GCSE is preferable for studying a subject at A Level, we will consider students who achieve a Grade 5 in the subject, depending on circumstances.
Please check your chosen subjects to ensure you meet any further specific course requirements. However, where necessary, we will consider students based on their individual circumstances.
