Entry requirements Details of the individual entry requirements can be found on the programme pages of this prospectus. The Faculty of Education will consider UK and international equivalents to the listed entry requirements, such as examinations of other recognised dance societies or the International Baccalaureate and BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma. A number of our non-UK undergraduate students have met the academic entry requirements with qualifications such as the German Abitur, the Irish Leaving Certificate, or the Apolytirion from Cyprus or Greece. However, if you are from a country whose university entry qualification does not meet UK standards, you may undertake a Foundation Module in order to fulfil the academic entry requirement of your chosen programme of study. Please contact Registry for further details or visit royalacademyofdance.org/ foundation-module. Concessionary entry and Access modules We are keen to recruit students from a wide range of backgrounds. If you do not hold traditional academic or dance qualifications, but have equivalent experiential learning, you may be eligible for concessionary entry. You may also be able to complete an access module to gain entry onto some of our programmes.
