Entry requirements

Below is a list of countries with information on each about which qualifications we accept.

  • UK

    A-level:
    Typically ABB
    Tariff:
    128 UCAS tariff points
    International Baccalaureate:
    31 points
    BTEC:
    DDM. Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care or Science-related subject
    GCSE:
    Unless studying towards an Access to HE Diploma in a relevant subject, all applicants must have a minimum of five passes at grade 4 (C) GCSE, including English Language and Mathematics in addition to other requirements.

    In addition, City also accepts T-Level in any of the following. Must have a grade of Distinction:

    • Health and Science: Healthcare Science.

    Important information regarding COVID-19 vaccination

    Clinical placements are an exciting and essential part of the training required to become a qualified Midwife.

    To protect students, staff and patients during these experiences, we strongly encourage our students to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (unless medically exempt).

    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 HE Diploma

    Pass in a QAA recognised Access to HE Diploma. Full award (60 credits) with a minimum of 45 credits at Level 3, including 30 at Distinction.

    • Accepted pathways: Nursing, Midwifery, Health, Science, Social Care
    • Not Accepted pathways: Sport Science, Nutrition, Paramedic studies.

    Applicants must also hold GCSE English Language and Mathematics at grade C (4) or above at the point of application to the programme.

    Selection process

    As well as meeting the stated academic entry requirements, applicants will be required to attend an online interview as part of the selection process, to ensure that your values match those of the NHS Constitution.

    Students are required to have occupational health and enhanced DBS (disclosure and barring service) clearance. Academic and character references are also required. Please see the Entry Requirements page for full information.

    Contextual offers

    We apply a contextual admissions process for UK undergraduate applicants who have been in care, attend a low performing school, or live in an area where few students go to university.

    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

    We often use tariff points within our offers. Any conditional offer based on tariff is likely to only be based on the equivalent of an applicant's top three A-level grades.

    We do not offer any flexible offers on this course.

    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.
