## Advanced entry

Applicants who achieve exceptional grades in their Advanced Highers, A-levels or International Baccalaureate may be considered for advanced entry, meaning that an Honours degree can be completed in three years instead of the normal four years, or four years for five-year integrated Masters programmes. Not all joint honours subjects are available for advanced entry and applications to joint honours programmes will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Choose point of entry 2nd year on your UCAS application to indicate you wish to be considered for advanced entry.

This list shows the degree programmes where this option exists. Indicative grades that must be attained in order to be considered are shown on programme pages. Applicants who require further information should [contact the Admissions team](https://www.gla.ac.uk/study/enquire/).
