General information
Entry requirements Entry guide for Level 4 courses We have a range of entry requirements and are keen to assess each application individually, recognising that our applicants have a range of backgrounds and qualifications. Each applicant’s assessment will include a review of their grades, interview, and any experience. Typical entry requirements are outlined below, but individual offers may vary.
UCAS tariff points
English as a second language
Different applicants may have UCAS points ranging from a minimum of 48 up to 168, usually with a qualification relevant to the course they have applied for.
The MET accepts a wide range of Level 3 qualifications, some of which may not currently be on the UCAS tariff. These include a range of vocational Level 3 diplomas, NVQs and EU qualifications. The qualification is usually relevant to the course applied for.
Applicants who have English as a second language and do not have a GCSE in English will be asked to take an IELTS assessment or equivalent as part of their offer conditions. They will need to achieve an overall score of 6.0, with 6.0 in the writing element and 5.5 in all other sub elements. The exception to this is students who have English as a second language but have been schooled here, i.e. taken GCSE English—if they have a achieved a grade D/3 they would not need to take the IELTS assessment.
Interviews
English and Maths GCSE
Non-tariff courses

Work experience The MET will consider applicants who are currently in work and/or may have completed their education some time ago. To apply, applicants will usually have at least three years’ work experience in the relevant industry.
We strongly advise that applicants will have achieved A*–C (9–4) grade in maths and English or equivalent qualification, to enable them to successfully complete their studies at the MET and enhance their future careers.
