Entrance
Requirements
Standard
Entry Route
Applicants
often present a wide range of qualifications but the following
general rules apply:
To
register for a degree you must be at least 17 years old and
satisfy the University's general entrance
requirements and any necessary course
requirements. There are many other acceptable
qualifications, both from the United Kingdom and overseas
which the University accepts as satisfying the entrance requirements.
You
may be asked to provide proof of competence
in English (Tests of proficiency in English) acceptable
to the University.
If
you do not satisfy the criteria for automatic acceptance, the
University will still consider your application on an individual
basis or under their Special Admissions procedures.
If
the University cannot accept you with your current qualifications
and experience, they will advise you what qualifications you
could take in order to become eligible in the future
Application
for the Graduate Entry Route
Applicants
who meet the above criteria and also hold a full bachelors
degree completed in a minimum of three years duration
on a full-time basis or equivalent, from a university
or other institution acceptable to the University of
London may apply for entry to the Graduate Entry Route
of the degree.
Regrettably
applicants holding professional qualifications and /
or postgraduate qualifications without a full bachelors
degree cannot be considered for admission to the Graduate
Entry Route.
Please
also note that there are no exemptions for the Graduate
Entry Route of the degrees in the fields of Economics,
Management, Finance and the Social Sciences.

Exemptions
Although The University use the word 'exemption', other institutions
often use the term 'credit transfer'.
An
exemption means that you are not required to take a particular
unit as part of your degree.
To
be eligible you must satisfy the University that you have already
passed examinations that compare in level, content and standard
to the syllabuses from which you want to be exempted. Some exemptions
The University award are automatically granted; all others are
considered on a non-automatic basis.
To
be considered for exemption you must satisfy our criteria and
make an application. Any exemption awarded is only valid for
a limited period which will be specified in your decision letter.
If you do not attempt an examination during this period, the
exemption will expire. If you still want the exemption to count
towards your degree you will need to apply again.
You
may apply for exemption from up to four Foundation units.
All
non-automatic exemptions are considered on payment of a fee,
currently £50 per unit / £25 per half unit.

University cannot give advice or comment on qualifications
and eligibility until your application form and fee have

to accept you onto the programme with your current qualifications,

If
you do not meet the entrance requirements for the degree of
your choice, a Special Admissions Panel may still be able to
consider your application.
The
Special Admissions Panel considers every aspect of an application
including all qualifications, relevant work experience, age
and reasons for study. Applications are rarely accepted on the
basis of age and/or work experience alone; evidence of mature
age study is invariably required. The Panel may decide that
you must obtain an additional qualification/s before an offer
of registration for the External Programme can be made.
The
Special Admissions Panel may consider an application from you
if:
you
have passed examinations which would give you admission to an
acceptable university outside the UK
OR:
you
have obtained an appropriate qualification/s other than a degree
from an acceptable institution
OR:
you
have a professional qualification/s (gained by examination)
that admits you to membership of an acceptable professional
body
OR:
you
are over 21 years of age and are therefore considered to be
a mature applicant.
