*Asterisked courses also require a B grade in Mathematics at GCSE or equivalent.

All Single and Dual Honours courses normally require minimum B in German at A Level, though, with some, a B at AS Level plus very good A Level grades in other subjects will be considered.

Note that the grades listed here are customary. Offers may vary according to a candidate's particular profile and circumstances.
