Academic Requirements

To be eligible to register for a Diploma for Graduates programme you are required to satisfy the following:
  • hold a full first degree completed in a minimum of three years duration on a full-time basis (or equivalent) from a university or other institution acceptable to the University of London and
  • demonstrate that you have reached a level of competence in Mathematics at least equivalent to a pass at GCSE/GCE O level in a Mathematical subject at grade C or above and
  • provide proof of competence in English which is acceptable to the University and
  • have regular internet access.
An applicant for a Diploma for Graduates is advised that although this is not a formal entrance requirement, it is their responsibility to ensure – before starting this programme – that their standard of mathematics or economics is already at least at the level of a first year undergraduate degree in Mathematics or Economics and that for the Diploma for Graduates (Mathematics) their knowledge includes multivariate calculus.
If you hold a professional and/or postgraduate qualifications without a full first degree, you cannot be considered for admission to a Diploma for Graduates. If we cannot accept you with your current qualifications and experience, we will advise you of what qualifications you could take in order to become eligible in the future. There are many other acceptable entrance qualifications [PDF: 9pgs, 160KB], both from the UK and overseas, which we accept instead of UK O and A levels.
