New 14-19 Diplomas and
Extended Project
The university welcomes applications
from students studying the new diploma
lines.
The new diplomas at Level 3 and
extended project will be accepted as
entry qualifications in their own right,
or can be combined with AS/A2 Level
qualifications. Level 2 diplomas will be
accepted as the equivalent to 5 or 6
GCSE passes at A*-C.
We understand that UCAS are in the
process of including these new awards
in the tariff scale, although, at the time
of writing, UCAS has yet to publish the
actual value.

Accreditation of Prior
(Experiential) Learning APL/APEL
You may already have vocational
experience or non-traditional
qualifications. We will take this into
account when you apply for a course.
Applicants who do not have formal entry
qualifications, but who have experience
in the area to be studied, can be offered
places or could be given exemptions
from preliminary parts of a course
through Accredited Prior Experiential
Learning (APEL).
Alternative entry routes
We are always happy to talk in
confidence to anyone interested in the
alternative routes into higher education
and to support them as much as possible.
By giving the appropriate practical
information, encouragement and advice,
we can break down some of the barriers
which often stop people from achieving
their goal in higher education.
If in doubt, please ask the enquiry
team to put you in contact with the
programme tutor for further help and
advice. Call 01204 903903.
