Pearson BTEC Extended Diploma (QCF)

Scottish HNC

Qualifications such as Early Education and Childcare will be accepted as one subject alongside 3 additional subjects at Higher Level or equivalent. We require a minimum of 4 separate SCQF Level 6 subjects. So an HNC or an HND in any subject counts as one. Three more SCQF Level 6 subjects are required. This must include Higher English at Grade B (or an equivalent as detailed below), plus two further separate subjects at SCQF Level 6. If these are Highers, grade C or above is required. Where a Foundation Apprenticeship is presented, this will count as an SCQF Level 6 subject at grade A. In addition, a Maths qualification, as detailed below, must be achieved.

Foundation Apprenticeship (SCQF Level 6)

The University recognises that Skills Development Scotland, alongside other partners, is working with industry to increase the range of work-based learning opportunities for pupils in the senior phase of secondary schools. The development of Foundation Apprenticeships is one such initiative and this qualification will normally be considered in lieu of one SQA Higher at grade A across a range of degree programmes.
