Entry requirements

Applicants will have 3 A-levels (or equivalent) at grade B or above. Applicants must also hold a minimum GCSE grade of 6 in Maths and 5 in English.

Please note, we do not use UCAS points for entry to the programme. Where a candidate has already gained a good undergraduate degree this may be offered to meet entry requirements. Other relevant or prior experience may also be considered as an alternative so we would encourage applicants with non-standard qualifications to contact us to discuss their eligibility.

Applicants must have a valid and eligible residency status to gain entry onto the apprenticeship – please see the ESFA guidance for further information.
