to attend for interview and/or to complete a test. (If you
are unsure of your competence in French and/or German the
University will be happy to give you guidance on this,
in response to your application. If necessary the
University will make suggestions as to how you may improve
your performance to the standard required for admission.)
-
the University
reserves the right to request applicants to provide evidence
acceptable to the University of oral and written competence
in English before an offer of registration can be made.
| *Applications
will be considered from applicants who do not meet
the normal minimum age requirement for admission.
Each application will be considered on an individual
basis, and the decision taken at the discretion of
the University of London. |
Note:
applicants with other qualifications not listed above and/or
suitable work experience will be considered by the University
on an individual basis.
There are many
other acceptable qualifications (pdf: 6pgs, 91KB; new window),
both from the UK and overseas, which the University accepts
instead of British 'O' and 'A' levels.
Exemptions
Although the
University use the word 'exemption', other institutions often
use the term 'credit transfer'.
An exemption
means that you are not required to take a particular unit as
part of your degree. Students may apply for exemption from Level
1 of the degree or from any of its constituent units or half
units. However, students are warned that exemption from the
core language elements at Level 1 is not normally awarded.
To be eligible
you must satisfy the University that you have already passed
examinations that compare in level, content and standard to
the syllabuses from which you want to be exempted. Some exemptions
are automatically granted; all others are considered on a non-automatic
basis.
To be considered
for exemption you must satisfy the University's criteria and
make an application. Any exemption awarded
is only valid for a limited period which will be specified in
your decision letter. If you do not attempt an examination during
this period, the exemption will expire. If you still want the
exemption to count towards your degree you will need to apply
again.
All non-automatic
exemptions are considered on payment of a fee, currently £54
per unit / £27 per half unit.
