# BTEC Entry Requirements

**Source**: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/apply/entry/btec/
**Parent**: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/apply/entry/

Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for.

Some of our programmes require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require an additional A-Level qualification to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses.  A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other Level 3 qualifications. We don’t currently consider any International BTEC qualifications for entry.

Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found below. If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the [Admissions team](https://www.qmul.ac.uk/contact/admissions/) for individual advice.

## BTEC (QCF) Qualifications (from 2010)

**BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma (QCF from 2010)**

We will consider this qualification for entry to most courses and expect the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma to be in a subject area relevant to the course being applied for.

Applicants may be expected to achieve an additional A-level or acceptable qualification at Level 3, relevant to the course being applied for.

**BTEC Level 3 Diploma (QCF from 2010)**

We will consider this qualification for entry to most courses.  Applicants will be expected to achieve at least one additional A-level or acceptable Level 3 qualification, relevant to the course being applied for.

**BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma (QCF from 2010)**

We will consider this qualification for entry to most courses.  Applicants will be expected to present two additional A-levels or acceptable Level 3 qualifications, relevant to the course being applied for.

For more detailed guidance and advice, please contact our Admissions team ensuring that you state the full name of the BTEC qualification you are taking as well as the additional Level 3 qualifications you are taking concurrently, and the undergraduate course that you are considering applying for.

## Other BTEC (RQF) Qualifications (from 2016)

We will consider applications from applicants taking any of the following BTEC (RQF) qualifications, but in each case, will require additional Level 3 qualifications such as A-levels:

- BTEC National Diploma (equivalent to 2 A-levels)
- BTEC National Foundation Diploma (equivalent to 1.5 A-levels)
- BTEC National Extended Certificate (equivalent to 1 A-level)
- BTEC National Certificate (equivalent to 0.5 A-level)

Please note that our offers are always based on a minimum of three full A-levels or equivalent qualifications.

For more detailed guidance and advice, please contact our Admissions team ensuring that you state the full name of the BTEC qualification you are taking as well as the additional Level 3 qualifications you are taking concurrently, and the undergraduate course that you are considering applying for.

## Applicants for MSci or MEng programmes

The BTEC National Extended Diploma is **not** considered for direct entry to our MSci or MEng programmes.  Applicants may apply to the respective BSc/ BEng programme and then transfer to the corresponding MSci/ MEng, subject to successfully meeting the academic progression requirements.  Offers are at the discretion of the academic School.  If you have questions regaring this process please contact the relevant School directly.  Contact details for each School are listed on the relevant [Course Finder](https://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/) entry for each programme.

## Applying with BTEC and A Level/other qualifications

For most courses we will consider applicants who have studied BTECs alongside other qualifications such as A Levels or as part of the [International Baccalaureate Careers Diploma](https://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/apply/entry/).

Applicants applying with a combination of different BTEC qualifications or similar should be aware that in most cases you will also need to be taking at least 1 A Level to supplement the qualifications that you are taking.

Please note that our offers are always based on a minimum of three full A-levels or equivalent qualifications.

For more detailed guidance and advice, please contact our [Admissions team](mailto:admissions@qmul.ac.uk) ensuring that you state the full name of the BTEC qualification you are taking as well as the additional Level 3 qualifications you are taking concurrently, and the undergraduate course that you are considering applying for.

## BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF) (first teaching 2016)

We consider the reformed BTEC National Extended Diploma (RQF) for entry onto many of our Undergraduate programmes.  Applicants will typically be expected to achieve a minimum overall score and we may also specify grades in the mandatory and optional units, depending on the BTEC subject you are taking and the course you are interested in.
