We do not require A-level Politics for courses in the School of Politics and International Studies. In general, we expect applicants to have two ‘traditional’ academic subjects at A-level. See our accepted subjects document to see which subjects we accept. When an applicant is taking the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) this can be considered alongside A-levels and may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. If you are taking A Levels, this would be BBB at A-level including grade A in the EPQ.
T Level
We will consider T-levels in appropriate subjects as they become available. In all cases applicants should have GCSE English at 4 or above.
