University entry requirements for BTEC students
• All HEIs, with the exception of Imperial College London, accept BTEC Nationals for at least some courses
• Most accept the Level 3 Extended Diploma on its own
• Most tend to require additional qualifications with the smaller BTEC Nationals (e.g. Subsidiary Diploma and Diploma)
• Some highly selective courses have the following restrictions:o They specify the inclusion of named units, sometimes at
distinction gradeo They require an A level as well as the BTEC Extended Diplomao They accept BTEC students on to a foundation year only
It is therefore important that BTEC students check entry requirements carefully
