BHASVIC Entry Requirements
When you apply to BHASVIC you will need to meet two sets of Entry Requirements, for an overall Study Programme and for the specific Courses of interest to you.
Study Programme Entry Requirements:
| Minimum Entry Requirements for BHASVIC Study Programmes | |
|
Mixed Programme |
Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above in five different subjects. This must include a minimum of grade 4 in English Language GCSE or Maths GCSE. This Study Programme is made up of three Level 3 courses, at least one of which will be a BTEC / WJEC Level 3 qualification (for example, a BTEC and two A levels). All Level 3 qualifications are A level equivalent at BHASVIC. |

3 A levels |
Six GCSEs, with a minimum of five grade 4 and one grade 6. These must be in a minimum of five different subjects. This must include a minimum of grade 4 in English Language GCSE or Maths GCSE.

ESOL |
BHASVIC also runs a full-time Study Programme for students to learn English - English as Second or Other Language. Please visit our dedicated ESOL webpage for more information and application links. |
Students who have not already achieved grade 4 in English Language or Maths GCSE must continue to study a resit course alongside other subjects.
It is expected that if you have studied a subject at GCSE that you wish to continue at A level, you must have gained at least Grade 4, or if you have taken the Higher Diploma (Level 2) you need to have passed your Principal Learning with at least a Pass or Grade 4.
The Entry Requirement for each course is also available from the individual course page from our Courses menu.
