Entry Requirements

As entry requirements vary for different courses, it is advisable to check the entry requirements for your course carefully.  Entry requirements typically include one or more A Level passes, a BTEC National Diploma/Certificate or NVQ Level 3 qualifications.

The University of Central Lancashire's (UCLan's) Accreditation of Prior Learning scheme will apply, to allow recognition of alternative or professional qualifications, life experience, motivation and commitment.

If you do not have the standard entry qualifications you may be invited for interview in order to determine your suitability for the course.
