They are required to submit written assignments which include essays, exams and presentations.

The entry requirement is a Level 3 qualification e.g. A Levels, BTEC Diploma, Access to Higher Education Diploma but other courses at this level will be considered.
Once the course is completed, there is an opportunity for students to progress to the third year (Level 6) of an Honours Degree at the University of Wolverhampton.
