GCSE/National 4/National 5Grade C/4 in English and Mathematics, or equivalent. A levelGrade C or above in Mathematics, plus a Pass in one of the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Computing/Computer Science, Design and Technology, Electronics, Engineering, ICT, Further Maths, Music Technology, Physics, Statistics. Points from A-Level General Studies and AS-Level subjects (not taken on to full A-Level) can be included towards overall tariff. T LevelYou must achieve a Grade C in A-Level Mathematics in addition to your T Level qualification. If you have or are looking to partially complete your T-Level you are still required to have the equivalent to 2 full A-Levels as part of our minimum entry requirements. As a result, if you are applying with only the core or occupational specialism, this may be insufficient as a stand-alone qualification. |
