Entry Requirements
This programme is offered by the University of Southampton and Associated Colleges as a progression route for students who have successfully completed the Certificate in Education (PCET) or an appropriate Foundation Degree and who wish to progress with their studies onto Honours degree level.
Direct Entry: The programme is the equivalent of a one year full time programme at degree level 6. It assumes that students applying directly for entry to the programme will have completed work equivalent to the first two years of a full time honours degree and have gained 240 CATS (120 ECTS), as in the case of a Foundation Degree.
Exceptional Entry: Students who have achieved the Certificate in Education (PCET) from the University of Southampton or its equivalent must show evidence of additional level 5 study of at least one-year full time, or equivalent. Possession of Higher National Diploma or Higher National Certificate would be an example. Students without this evidence may undertake a “bridging” module to a minimum value of 20 CATS (10 ECTS) at Level 5. Students may present other awards for consideration and each of these will be considered on its merits. |

Disclosure and Barring Service
Although a DBS check is not a prerequisite of enrolment on the Programme, it is highly advisable given that some assignments involve a visit to establishments where vulnerable adults are taught. |

Equal Opportunities
All individuals are selected and treated on their relative merits and abilities in line with the University's Equal Opportunities Policy. Disabled applicants will be treated according to the same procedure as any other applicant with the added involvement of the Enabling Services Office to assess their needs. |
