All majors at BUV require completion of a foundation/pathway programme beforehand. The only exception is for students on certain international curricula who meet the partner university's required scores for exemption; such cases are assessed individually by the Academic Affairs team.
Applicants must be aged 17 or above by 31 December of the year of application. Applications that do not meet the minimum age requirement are generally reviewed on a case-by-case basis, with the final admission decision made at the University of London's discretion.
The university requires completion of high school (Grade 12), but does not set any minimum grade requirement.

All special cases require approval from the university's Academic Affairs department and depend on the specific programme and degree-awarding partner, so your child can submit their existing qualifications for the Admissions team to advise on the most suitable pathway.
There are practical learning activities such as group assignments, discussions, and small projects that integrate the programme's content. However, as these are not specialised undergraduate-level programmes, more in-depth, discipline-specific research projects become available once students progress into their formal bachelor's programme.
