Course entry requirements and codes Entry requirements We welcome applications from students from diverse educational backgrounds so we accept a wide range of qualifications for admission to the University of Winchester. Individual courses have specific entry requirements which are detailed on pages 183-186. This information should be regarded as a guide only. For the most up-todate entry requirements please visit the website at www.winchester.ac.uk Some of the more common qualifications accepted by the University are detailed within this section. If you have a qualification not listed, please contact the Course Enquiries and Applications team by emailing course.enquiries@winchester.ac.uk tariff points The majority of UK students will use the tariff (see pages 187-188 for an equivalency table) to determine whether their qualifications meet the standard required by the University. Details of tariff points required for particular subjects are detailed in the course entry requirements on pages 183-186 or on each course s Fact File. The University of Winchester accepts tariff points earned from a variety of qualifications including A2, BTEC National Diplomas and Certificates, CACHE Diplomas, the Extended Project (EPQ), Scottish Highers, Irish Leaving Certificate and the Welsh Baccalaureate. While the majority of tariff points will be accumulated through the completion of A2 (or equivalent) qualifications, the University will allow a maximum of 80 tariff points, which have been earned through successful completion of qualifications below A2 (or equivalent) standard, to be counted toward the total entry requirement. For example, AS level(s) not continued to A2, Key Skills, music examinations and Institute of Financial Services qualifications. GCSEs All applicants must possess a good level of competence in English Language, a pass at grade C or above in English Language or equivalent. A grade C or above in Mathematics or Science (or equivalent) is also normally required. There are specific GCSE requirements for some programmes and these are detailed on pages 183-186.

Mature students We welcome applicants who are over 21 and many have a wide range of qualifications and experience. If you are able to demonstrate recent study at Level 3 or above, for example achieving one A level, then you may not need to fulfil the standard entry requirements for your chosen programme. Applications from mature students will be considered on their own individual merit, and work and other experience can be taken into consideration.
Access requirements For mature students, achieving a pass at an Access course will fulfil the general entry requirement for the majority of our programmes. Applicants under 21 are required to achieve a minimum of 30 credits at Distinction level and 15 at Merit or above. Please check the entry requirements table and the key opposite to see if this applies to you.
