Qualifications we accept  

We consider the Norwegian Vitnemål for entry. 

What grades do I need?  

Minimum entry requirements  

Overall grade of 4.5 with 544 in final year subjects.

We calculate this by averaging grades achieved by subject, that is, Final Assessment Grade and Exam Grade, and then taking an overall average of all subjects taken. Any required subjects should be achieved at Grade 4 overall. 

Competition and selection   

Entry to many of our degree programmes is very competitive. This is because we receive a high number of applications for a limited number of places.   

All applicants who submit an on-time, fully complete application (including predicted grades, academic reference, and personal statement) and who meet or are predicted to meet the minimum entry requirements, including any required subjects, will be put forward into the selection process.    

However, the grades you need to get an offer may be much higher than the minimum requirements grades published above.   

For entry to our most popular subject areas, you may need a perfect or near-perfect score to get an offer.  

Required subjects  

Entry to some of our degrees requires you to have specific subjects in your school qualification.   

Where this is the case, your entry qualifications must:  

• include the specific subject/s listed for the degree you are applying to, and; 
• meet, or exceed, the grades specified.  

Required subjects are listed in the entry requirements section of the individual degree programme entries within our degree finder.  

Undergraduate degree finder 

Where we ask applicants who are taking GCE A levels or GCSEs in specific subjects, we will ask you for comparable subjects at a comparable level in your qualification.   

For A level subject requirements you must be taking the subject in VG2/3 and at an advanced level. For GCSE subject requirements we can consider some intermediate level curriculum in VG1. Please contact us for information about the subject curriculums that we consider as advanced.

English Language  

All applicants are required to demonstrate a level of English language competency, regardless of their nationality or country of residence. If you require a Student route visa to study in the UK, the English qualification that you use for admission to an undergraduate degree must be included in our list of accepted qualifications, unless you are a national of a majority English speaking country as defined by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI).

Update to entry requirements webpages  

We updated these webpages on 9 October 2025 to add additional information about the level of subject requirement equivalences. There may have been changes since the last time you checked them, however, the overall entry requirements for 2026 entry are no higher than previously published.
