Courses
Admission
Applicants seeking a place on undergraduate degrees should apply through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). The 'standard offer' for admission is the equivalent of three Grade Bs at A'level with at least one B grade at A-Level. AS and A2 subjects are accepted, including General Studies/Critical Thinking, as is the Welsh Baccalaureate and BTEC qualifications provided they are noted on the UCAS form. International students without these qualifications may study the International Foundation Certificate at Aberystwyth University, which will provide a pathway onto one of our undergraduate degree schemes. Additional information about entry requirements is available online or by contacting Elaine Lowe, Academic Operations Administrator.
The Department welcomes applications from mature candidates (applicants who will be at least 21 years of age when commencing an undergraduate course) as well as those who do not possess conventional entrance qualifications. Candidates falling into these categories are normally interviewed as part of the admissions process, the cost of which is reimbursed by Aberystwyth University.
