Admission Requirements
112+
You must achieve at least 112 UCAS points including a minimum of CC at A level or equivalent (e.g.MM at BTEC Diploma; MPP at BTEC Extended Diploma) towards the total tariff. As it is not possible to achieve 104 UCAS points through an Access course, Access Students will need 112 UCAS points. You can reach this with the following combination of Distinction, Merit and/ or Pass grades at level 3 achieved from a completed Access course. 112 UCAS Points: D27-M0-P18; D124-M6-P15; D21-M12-P12; D18-M18-P9; D15-M24-P6; D12-M24-P3; D9-M36-P0. Five GCSEs at grade 4 (or C) or above (or recognised equivalents), including English Language and Mathematics, are also required. For applicants who are unsure that they will achieve the above UCAS tariff, Newman University offers Forensic Psychology (with Foundation Year) which enables such applicants to access a university degree via a four-year route. Upon successful completion of their foundation year, students will progress to Year 1 of a named degree. Whilst not a condition of entry onto the Foundation Year, students wishing to follow named routes with additional entry requirements, will need to meet these requirements before they make the transition from their foundation year to year 1. International Students The University is not licenced by the UK Government to sponsor migrant students under the Student route and is therefore unable to accept applications from international students at present.
