The University of Derby requires applicants to meet specific academic and language proficiency standards. For undergraduate courses, candidates typically need A-levels, BTECs, or equivalent qualifications, with grade requirements varying by program. Postgraduate applicants must hold a relevant bachelor’s degree, usually at 2:2 or higher.
International students must demonstrate English proficiency via tests like IELTS (typically 6.0 for undergraduates, 6.5 for postgraduates). Some courses may have additional prerequisites, such as portfolios or interviews. Mature students without formal qualifications may be considered based on work experience. Always check the course page for precise criteria, as requirements can differ.
