Equivalency Tests

Applicants who do not have GCSE Maths, English or Science at grade C or above (or recognised equivalent qualifications) should arrange to take University's Equivalency Tests before they can be registered on the Programme. These are not nationally recognised qualifications and can only be taken by those that are applying for one of the Programmes with the University.

For further information and to book Maths, English and Science equivalency tests please visit our prospectus pages|.

Please note that there is a charge of £25 per test.

N.B. Trainees may not meet all the entry requirements at the time of applying but must meet them by the start of the Programme, should they be successful at interview stage.
