Accepted and non-accepted subjects for UK, Cambridge or Pearson International A levels

To ensure that students are properly prepared for our academically rigorous bachelor programmes, we require them to have completed at least three A levels with a strong academic focus, similar to the requirements of other European higher education institutions. Some A level subjects are not accepted as they are more oriented towards professional degrees. 

Below is a list of GCE A level subjects that are or are not accepted for admission to our bachelor programmes. If you have taken an A level that is not listed, please contact us via our helpdesk. We will then check whether that A level can be accepted or not.
