Entry requirements
As a work-based learning programme, we value the experience of applicants as well as formal qualifications such as A-Levels. Formally, the entry requirements are the same as our traditional BSc Software Engineering (G600) programme. However, we recognise relevant experience in the case of mature students who do not have adequate A levels or equivalent academic results, and the expectation is that such recognition will be made in the case of the majority of applicants to the programme. We look at each applicant on a case by case basis. If you are unsure or think you do not meet the entry requirements, then please get in touch and we can discuss your situation.
