Other UK Qualifications If you have not had the opportunity to study for traditional school-leaving qualifications such as SQA Highers or A-Levels, but are studying for one of the following qualifications, you are strongly recommended to contact Admissions in order to seek guidance on preparing your UCAS application. The following qualifications meet the minimum academic ‘going rate’ for entry but the content of each qualification will be carefully assessed to ensure that it is relevant to the subject or subjects you are applying to, particularly if the qualification has a vocational, as opposed to academic, ethos.


Higher National Certificate The minimum going rate for entry is an ‘A’ grade in the Graded Unit or a minimum of four Merits. Normally a Higher National Certificate allows entry into first year only.


Higher National Certificate: Applied Sciences (Pathway to Medicine) The University has a unique partnership with Perth College whereby each year up to five mature students are guaranteed a place to study Medicine on successful completion of the HNC Applied Sciences (Pathway to Medicine) Access Course. Further information can be obtained from Perth College Admissions on 0845 270 1177.


Higher National Diploma The minimum going rate for entry is ‘A’ grades in the Graded Units. Normally a Higher National Diploma allows entry into first year only.


SWAP Access Programme The minimum going rate for entry is an ‘A’ grade on your SWAP Access Programme Profile plus a minimum of one SQA Higher at B grade or above where possible. Candidates are strongly recommended to undertake external SQA Higher examinations.


Other UK – based Access Course A minimum of 45 credits will be expected at Level 3 (equivalent to A-Level). If your access course is not unit-based then we would expect an ‘A’ grade or ‘Distinction’ in your academic profile.


BTEC National Diploma This is a unit-based qualification that focuses on particular aspects of employment within the vocational sector. Candidates presenting with a subject-relevant BTEC National Diploma (Level 3) will be expected to offer three Distinction grades for admission purposes.
