Advanced Standing - Stage 2 Direct Entry

Applicants seeking advanced standing to Stage 2 should ensure that they have either completed a qualification in their home country that will secure Stage 2 entry, or that they are part-way though a compatible qualification.

We have a number of 'partner' institutions where we have an agreement to consider applicants for Stage 2 entry into some of our degree programmes:

Institution Location Requirement
Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance Bahrain Merit in the Advanced Banking Studies Diploma Programme
City University Hong Kong B average in Associate Degree
Ngee Ann Polytechnic Singapore B average in the Diploma
Singapore Polytechnic Singapore B average in Diploma
Temasek Polytechnic Singapore B average in Diploma
Gateway Norway B average in Diploma in International Business

All other students are considered on an individual basis. As a minimum, students must meet the entry requirements for stage 1 (as listed above), including the English language requirements, and they must be studying at an institution that provides comparability across modules. In this situation, students are encouraged to contact the course selectors before applying through UCAS. Students should be prepared to provide detailed module outlines to the course selectors, as well as grades to date. The student will be expected to provide a reference from their current institution on their UCAS form.
