When to apply

31 January 2024 is the main UCAS deadline for applying to most undergraduate courses that start in September.

You can check if there are places available on the course you’re interested in and discuss your application with our admissions team by phone or email.

Entry requirements

Each course page has specific entry requirements, which may include specific grades from A Levels, BTEC or equivalent qualifications – or a combination of qualifications adding up to a UCAS Tariff UCAS Tariff point total.

Some courses also require an interview or audition.

To study an Honours undergraduate degree, you should also have at least 2 A levels (or equivalent) or at least 1 foundation degree – as well as grade 4/C in English GCSE, and for some courses, Grade 4/C or above in GCSE Maths and/or Science.

If you’re unsure whether you meet the minimum requirements, please send details of all your qualifications and the courses you’re interested in to admissions@glos.ac.uk and we’ll let you know.

What happens to your application?

UCAS checks applications for fraud, and for similarity in personal statements. Don’t worry, if your application is truthful and the personal statement is all your own work, you’ll be fine.

They’ll then send your application to us to decide if we can make you an offer or ask you to an interview.
