To ensure that many students come from diverse backgrounds, bringing a mix of experiences and perspectives, institutions have a varied entry requirement system:

• Standard Entry: Applicants are expected to have a minimum of 4 GCSEs at Grade C/4 or above, which must include both English and Mathematics.
• For Mature Students: Institutions understand that academic qualifications don’t always showcase one’s potential. If you're returning to study after a period, your relevant work experience could be taken into account for entry.
• Alternative Qualifications: Institutions also accept BTEC Level 3, NVQ Level 3, and other nationally recognised qualifications as a pathway to this BA course.

The teaching approach prioritizes hands-on learning and real-world scenarios. Students benefit from a combination of lectures, workshops, and practical training. Assessment methods emphasize coursework, presentations, and group projects, ensuring the development of skills essential for a future career. Traditional exams are not part of this programme, fostering a more interactive and collaborative learning experience.
