A pass in a relevant National Diploma is
usually enough to study on one of our higher education
courses.
The examples below are offers made by our admission tutors based
on A Level grades.
40 points is achieved by:
80 points is achieved by either:
- one A level at C grade
- one A level at E grade + two AS levels at E grade
- another similar combination
160 points is achieved by either:
- one twelve unit VCE award at grade CC
- one A level at grade C plus two AS levels at grade C
- two A levels at grades B and D
- two A levels at E grade and two AS levels at grade C
- other combinations.
You can only count points once. Points can only
be totaled for AS levels that are not
studied at full A level.
So a student achieving E in a full A level can only count 40
points not 40 for the full A
level and 20 for the AS level.
