Guide to Entry Requirements & Qualifications

Bradford College University Centre works closely with the private and public sectors and the professions. Our programmes, validated by Edexcel (BTEC) or Leeds Metropolitan University are recognised by employers and professional bodies.

You can gain qualifications on a full-time basis over a period of one, two, or three years. Alternatively, you can study many of our qualifications on a part-time basis. We also offer the opportunity for Associate Students to study a limited number of modules from our degree programmes to assist their personal or career development. Some courses offer exemptions from parts of professional examinations, others prepare you for direct entry to particular professions or careers.

Entry Requirements

Offers for courses at undergraduate level (HNC, HND, Dip HE, Foundation Degree, Ordinary and Honours Degrees) will be phased in terms of UCAS Tariff Points

Entry qualifications vary between one course and another. For individual course entry requirements please refer to the specific course page. Click here to search for a course.

Entry qualifications vary between one course and another.  All programmes of study are conducted and assessed in the English language. Applicants seeking admission to any course are therefore expected to be able to communicate effectively in English. Overseas applicants may be required to evidence this by achieving a minimum of IELTS 6.0, TOEFL550 or equivalent. All standard applicants are normally required to have GCSE Grade C or equivalent in English Language and Mathematics. In past years, College courses have offered places to those with the following qualifications:

• GCE/VCE Advanced Level and Nationals
• National Certificate/Diploma
• SQA Advanced Higher qualification
• International Baccalaureate
• Irish Leaving Certificate
• Access courses

The following qualifications are welcomed and will be taken into consideration by our Admissions Team, but may enable entry to the Scheme only in conjunction with other qualifications.

• NVQs or other Level 3 vocational qualifications within the relevant QCA framework
• City and Guilds qualifications at Level 3 or above
• Advanced Apprenticeships with Level 3 qualifications
