Applicants for Counselling should also have undertaken an introductory course prior to taking up their place.
but have been out of full-time education for two years or more Applicants without ‘A’ levels or other formal qualifications must evidence their ability to undertake study at this level. This means that we will ask you to provide a full CV together with a written piece, to be submitted prior to interview.

It is necessary to accumulate enough credits at each level to allow progression to the next within the degree.   

The interview

This will be with qualified and experienced staff where you will discuss:

  • Levels of literacy and numeracy.
  • Background knowledge and abilities in the subject area you are interested in.
  • Your ability and intention to complete the programme.
  • Relevance of formal qualifications (if applicable).

 

Accreditation of Prior (Experiential) Learning (APL and APEL)

Students with higher education credits from other institutions may be eligible to transfer them into their programme of study at Nottingham. You are required to provide evidence of your study (usually an official results transcript and details of module content). This is then assessed and may lead to an offer of a place with some credit exemption.

Students without formal qualifications but with suitable employment experience (experiential learning), may also be eligible for some credit exemption. This is assessed via scrutiny of a portfolio of evidence provided by the student.  » more information on School of Education AP(E)L policy.
