The University of Huddersfield welcomes a wide range of qualifications. Each application is considered individually, and the grades required will vary according to your circumstances.
You may be invited to attend a selection interview. Staff in the Admissions and Records Office will be happy to give you general guidance on this.
This page tells you about the minimum qualifications that you need to get into the University of Huddersfield. It won’t tell you which qualifications you will need to get on a specific course – the page for your course will tell you about that. The contact shown on each course page will be able to give you more specific advice about the qualifications that you will need. You may need much more than the minimum requirements shown here to get a place on the course you want.
Most of our students are 18 years old at entry to the University but we welcome students of any age with qualifications and/or experience at an appropriate level for them to undertake their studies. Applications will be assessed on a case by case basis having regard, amongst other things, to requirements imposed by professional bodies and evidence of the prospective student’s ability to study at a Higher Education level.
