Applications for L520 Childhood Studies (BSc), L522 Childhood Studies with Quantitative Research Methods (BSc), L523 Childhood Studies with Quantitative Research Methods (MSci), and L525 Childhood Studies with Study Abroad (BSc) are scored and ranked based on academic record, with GCSE weighted 20% and A-Level 80%. Academic entry requirements can be found on the university's website, and other qualifications are considered individually. Personal statements and references may be used to differentiate between applicants with similar academic profiles, with criteria including evidence of interest in Childhood Studies, non-academic achievements, and appropriateness of the course. Interviews are not routine, but may be conducted in exceptional circumstances, assessing criteria such as demonstrated interest, problem-solving skills, and non-academic achievements. Mature applicants are welcomed, with holistic assessment considering work experience and personal circumstances. Offers may be made for alternative courses if applicants are not qualified for their original choice. Deferred applications and resits are accepted, and transfers into year two or three may be considered. The admissions team assesses applications fairly, without discrimination, and requires a full academic history, predicted grades, and references.
