About this course
The main requirements are commitment and a willingness to work hard. We need some evidence that students can cope with a course of this nature, therefore we usually require 3 recent academic GCSE/O Levels - or equivalent - and acceptance is subject to an informal interview. Entry requirements also depend on which subjects they wish to study.
