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-to-date 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
[email protected]
UCAS tariff points
The majority of UK students will use the UCAS tariff (see
pages 187-188 for an equivalency table) to determine
whether their qualifications meet the standard required
by the University. Details of UCAS 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 UCAS 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 UCAS tariff points
will be accumulated through the completion of A2 (or
equivalent) qualifications, the University will allow a
maximum of 80 UCAS 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.

a wide range of qualifications and experience. If you are
able to demonstrate recent study at Level 3 or above, for

programme. Applications from mature students will be
considered on their own individual merit, and work and
other experience can be taken into consideration.

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.
International students
The University of Winchester accepts a wide range of
international qualifications and uses the UK NARIC
(National Academic Recognition Information Centre)
guidelines to confirm their equivalence. If you are unsure
whether your qualifications are appropriate, please
contact our International Recruitment team by emailing
[email protected]
