Entry requirements
Each course has its own entry requirements, which may include specific subjects depending on the programme.
Students taking the WASSCE will need to complete a suitable Foundation Year.
We also accept A Levels and the International Baccalaureate (IB) for direct entry to undergraduate degree courses. You’ll need to meet the University’s English language requirements.
Once you’ve found the course that feels right for you, you can apply directly through UCAS before 30 June. After this date, applications for 2026 entry can be made through Clearing, which opens on 2nd July.
My time at the University saw me develop a massive can-do attitude and a hunger for success. The university prides itself on its sporting excellence, and even just seeing the athletes train as you walk-by is inspiring. They are already one of the best, but they still always put in maximum effort, and you can see that. When you stay in an environment like that for a long time, it starts to positively influence your work ethic, which is exactly what happened in my case.
