Entry Requirements

Academic Requirements
In addition to the University’s standard entry requirements, applicants are expected to have:

• A minimum of grades CCC at A level, or at least 96 UCAS points from an equivalent Level 3 qualification (e.g. BTEC National, OCR Diploma, or Advanced Diploma).

• GCSE English Language and Mathematics at grade C/grade 4 or above (or equivalent).

Applicants with relevant qualifications or prior learning may be considered for advanced entry, which is available only for September intake. For further details, please see our guidance on advanced entry or contact courseenquiries@londonmet.ac.uk.

Please note: Up to nine professional examination exemptions may be available upon successful completion of specific modules. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the required modules to qualify for exemptions. The University cannot guarantee exemptions where the full three-year programme has not been undertaken.

English Language Requirements
All applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English. Students requiring a Student visa (formerly Tier 4) may need to provide results from a Secure English Language Test (SELT) such as IELTS Academic, in line with the University’s standard entry criteria.

For those wishing to improve their English prior to enrolment, the University offers a Pre-sessional Academic English course, designed to build confidence and ensure the required level of proficiency is achieved.
