Overview

Perhaps you do not have the traditional entry qualifications, or are an existing student wanting to transfer to a different course of study. Providing that you can show the intellectual potential, personal commitment and attitude to work needed to succeed in higher education, this scheme offers you a way to obtain a degree.
