UK
A-level:
ABB (Computer Science or Maths or other science preferred)
Tariff:
128 UCAS tariff points
International Baccalaureate:
31 points including 5 in Mathematics at Higher or Standard Level and minimum of grade 5 in Standard Level English
BTEC:
D*DD (Computing or Information Technology only)
GCSE:
A minimum of grade 6 (B) in Mathematics and grade 4 (C) in English Language in addition to other outlined requirements.
In addition to our other entry requirements, City also accepts T-levels with the following grades:
- T-Level in Digital Production, Design and Development – Distinction overall and Grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics.
Contextual offers
We apply a contextual admissions process for UK undergraduate applicants who have been in care, attend a low performing school, live in an area where few students go to university, or are the first generation of their family to enter Higher Education.
Those who are eligible may receive a conditional offer with reduced entry requirements, typically up to two grades lower for A-levels and one grade (or eight tariff points) for BTEC or mixed qualifications.
Mixed qualifications
Typically the only scenario where we make conditional offers expressed as UCAS tariff points is when an applicant presents mixed qualifications, most typically a combination of A-levels and a BTEC qualification.
In this instance, we may make a tariff point offer to present the applicant with more flexibility on equivalencies. In this case, please be aware that we may still ask for a specific score across certain qualifications and subjects. E.g. 'This offer is conditional on you achieving 128 tariff points. This must include A-level Mathematics at grade B.'
Subject exclusions
We do not accept General Studies and Critical Thinking. These subjects will not be included in any conditional offer we make.
Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
We welcome applications from students who are completing relevant EPQ Projects. Whilst we recognise the value of these projects in preparing students for independent learning at university, the EPQ is unlikely to form part of any conditional offer we make.
The EPQ will also not lower the specifics of any conditional offer we choose to make. We will consider the EPQ as part of the holistic assessment of the application and it could be used to form part of our final decision at Confirmation stage.
AS levels
We recognise that there will be differences of opportunity varying by school and college. As not all students will have the opportunity to sit AS Level exams, it is unlikely we will include AS Level grades in any offer we choose to make. Where students have completed an AS Level subject, we will consider this as part of the holistic assessment of the application and it could be used to form part of our final decision at Confirmation stage.
University preparation programmes
If you do not qualify for direct entry, you may wish to take a foundation programme first. These programmes are designed to prepare students for entry to City's undergraduate courses.
Access to Higher Education
Access to Higher Education qualifications will be considered on a case by case basis and taking into account all the information, including work and other experience, detailed in the UCAS application.
