2 MbNon-academic criteria
While academic achievement is an important part of considering your application, we place a strong emphasis on non-academic attributes. Not only do we look for high achievers academically, but also those who demonstrate a wide range of outside interests and a well developed, balanced personality. The significance of these interests can often be enhanced by a gap year to further develop them. The referee's report also plays an important role in evaluating your application.
Transfer from the 3 year to 4 year programme
If you have initially registered for the 3 year degree, you will have the option of transferring to the 4 year programme at the end of year two, subject to predefined attainment and the approval of the Director of Studies.
