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.

Our teaching methodology prioritises practical learning and real-world application. You won't find any traditional examinations in this course. Instead, our approach focuses on project-based assignments, group discussions, case studies, and presentations, allowing you to apply your knowledge in a practical context.
