We encourage applications from students who have the motivation and qualifications to successfully undertake a BSc programme.. Read more about programme qualifications and requirements below.
Please note, you may still be eligible for admission even if you do not meet the following criteria. The Admissions Panel will consider each application on its own merits and assess whether your other credentials or work experience qualify you for entry.
Undergraduate degree qualifications (BSc)
The Online Taught BSc programmes from the University of London consist of the equivalent of 12 full courses when taken through the Standard Route and nine full courses through the Graduate Entry Route. Courses are classified as either 100, 200 or 300-level.
The University of London accepts qualifications from around the world. If your qualifications are not from the United Kingdom, visit the University of London Qualifications for Entrance page to learn more about the requirements for your country.
