Additional School entry requirements
Business School
Standard Business School degree entry requirements are at least two A-levels or an AVCE double award. You should have 220 UCAS points if including Key Skills Level 3. Points from AS-levels or ASVCEs are also taken into account. You should have GCSEs in English and these must be held prior to application. A programme with a language as a minor component ('with' French, etc.) requires GCSE grade C or above in the relevant language; a joint combination ('and' French, etc.) requires an A-level in the language.
The School of Computing & Mathematical Sciences
Applicants for the School's BSc Hons programmes must have 200 UCAS points from subjects studied at A-level or equivalent. A number of exceptions apply; see the programme pages in the Subject A to Z.
We welcome applicants taking Access to Higher Education courses. Normally, we require a pass on an Access to Computing, Mathematics, Science or Engineering course, but other access courses are considered. Degrees involving mathematics or statistics require a pass on an Access to Mathematics course. Typically, applicants require 45 credits at Level 3, and 15 at Level 2 but list the units studied on your UCAS form.
Initial teacher training programmes
In addition to standard entry requirements, teacher training applicants require GCSE English and mathematics; applicants to primary teacher training also require GCSE science at C or above. They must also undergo additional statutory checks (see below).
Combined honours degrees
Entry requirements for single and combined honours are identical, except combinations including mathematics require A-level mathematics or equivalent. Combinations including a language may require a GCSE at grade C or above (or an A-level) in that language.
Additional statutory checks
Applicants for programmes relating to teaching, pharmacy, nursing, midwifery, social work and young and vulnerable people undergo further statutory checks, including occupational health screening and a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check. We will contact you to arrange these once you have accepted an offer and met the academic requirements.
Applicants for nursing, midwifery and social work programmes must have been granted settled residential status in the UK for three years prior to the start date of the programme and have indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
For enquiries on statutory checks, telephone the university's Office of Student Affairs on 020 8331 8444. For more on CRB checks, visit www.gre.ac.uk/students/crb.
14-19 Diploma
We welcome applicants with the Advanced Diploma. Some degrees may require certain subject area knowledge at an advanced level; in such cases, applicants may be required to present additional specialist learning (ASL). For more information, contact our Enquiry Unit.
Overseas qualifications
We accept overseas qualifications equivalent to those mentioned above. For further information, contact your local British Council office or the university's International Office (+44 [0]20 8331 8136 or international@gre.ac.uk).
It should be noted that certain programmes in this prospectus require attendance at interview in the UK and/or additional statutory checks. For more information, contact the International Office.
Language skills
If English is not your first language, you must provide proof of your fluency through IELTS (minimum score 6.0 for degree programmes), TOEFL (minimum score 550) or another accepted system. If your scores are lower, you may apply for a course to improve your English offered by the university.
Other access routes
We are committed to providing higher education for students with no formal qualifications but who are ready to study at degree/diploma level. You can claim credit for a distance learning programme or informal prior learning through paid or voluntary work. We will consider and acknowledge all learning that has provided an appropriate foundation for studying with us.
