Note: Applicants holding professional and/or postgraduate qualifications without a full first degree cannot be considered for the admission to the Graduate Entry Route.

Exemptions

Although the word 'exemption' is used, other institutions often use the term 'credit transfer'. An exemption means that you are not required to take a particular unit as part of your degree.

To be eligible you must satisfy the University of London that you have already passed examinations that compare in level, content and standard to the syllabuses from which you want to be exempted. Some exemptions we award are automatically granted; all others are considered on a non-automatic basis.

To be considered for exemption you must satisfy our criteria and make an application. Any exemption awarded is only valid for a limited period which will be specified in your decision letter. If you do not attempt an examination during this period, the exemption will expire. If you still want the exemption to count towards your degree you will need to apply again.

You may apply for exemption from up to four Foundation units.

Note: for further details about Exemptions - highlighted above - please see the Exemptions section at www.londonexternal.ac.uk
