• All examinations must be conducted by an examination authority located in the UK or an equivalent authority elsewhere. 
• Applied Advanced Level subjects are not an ideal preparation for our programs.  
• General Paper, General Studies, Critical Thinking, Thinking Skills, and Key Skills are not acceptable.

Selecting a second admission category does not affect eligibility for your first-choice category. Admission is subject to space availability and will be evaluated after all first-choice applicants have been considered. Please note: Choosing an alternate admission category does not guarantee admission to your second-choice program.
