Note
The information given on this page is for guidance only. Students are admitted to our programmes on the basis of their complete academic profile, not on the basis of their performance in one examination or qualification. In particular, we pay attention to the grades that you achieve, the age at which you take examinations and the number of attempts that you require to pass an examination. Our expectation is that you should take examinations at the expected age and pass them at the first attempt.
