Entry requirements Am I eligible to study at the University of Bedfordshire? Whether you are a school or college leaver or returning to study, we welcome your application. We are an inclusive University that takes pride in enabling you, whatever your circumstances, to open up new possibilities. Comprehensive support services are in place to help you deal with anything that might come your way during your time with us.

What qualifications do I need? We consider a wide range of qualifications for entry – not just those on the UCAS tariff. We will treat you as an individual and consider all elements of your application, including professional work experience. We are looking for breadth and depth in your current studies, as well as demonstrable enthusiasm for your chosen subject. The University makes conditional and unconditional offers. An unconditional offer means that you have already achieved the qualifications required for the course you have applied for. A conditional offer means that you must obtain specified results from your forthcoming examinations and meet any additional requirements specified in your offer. The academic conditions are expressed in terms of UCAS tariff points achieved through: • Access qualifications • A Levels • BTEC qualifications (QCF) • OCR Level 3 Technical • Equivalent qualifications such as an Irish Leaving Certificate, Scottish Highers or International Baccalaureate

For applications submitted through UCAS, the official offer is the one you see on UCAS Track. Read it carefully and contact us without delay if there is anything you do not understand. The offer is normally in the range of 80 to 112 UCAS tariff points, however please refer to the individual course requirements as some courses may be higher and some courses may have specific subject requirements. The minimum benchmark qualifications for undergraduate courses are currently: • Bachelor’s degrees and integrated Master’s degrees: two A Levels or equivalent • Foundation degrees, courses with Foundation Year and Higher National Diplomas: one A Level or equivalent

I don’t have any of these qualifications – can I still apply for entry? We are able to consider an application from you if you have substantial work/professional experience in the area relevant to the degree subject that you are applying to study. We also welcome applications from international students onto full-time courses. For more information see page 189.

Can I get credit for study already undertaken? If you are applying for advanced standing, and providing your study credit is relevant, current and at the right level, we may be able to take prior study into account for advanced entry. The University has arrangements for Recognition of Prior Certificated Learning (RPCL).

I am an international or EU student. Do I need to fulfil any additional entry requirements before studying at the University of Bedfordshire? Students may be required to provide an English language qualification. There are also a range of pre-sessional English courses available for students who do not meet the English language requirements. For more information visit: unibeds.info/UG22_Pre Please note that our professional and accredited courses may require a higher standard of English. See individual course entries for these subjects for more details.
