Undergraduate study in Economics, Management, Finance and Social Sciences

APL eligibility

You can be considered for exemption, from units other than law units, if you satisfy all of the following criteria:

You are eligible to be registered for the BSc degree of your choice through the Standard Route.
You are suitably qualified.

You must have passed examinations which compare in level, content and standard to the examinations for the units from which you want to be exempted.
Exemptions are normally only considered on a subject-for-subject basis. For example, you should only apply for exemption from the unit 02 Introduction to Economics if, in your opinion, you have previously studied a similar subject in the same depth, at degree level (or the equivalent), and you have achieved good marks in the corresponding examination.
We do not give exemptions on the basis of GCSE/GCE ‘O’ levels or GCE ‘A’ levels, or other similar school-leaving examinations.

If you applying for Automatic exemption(s) you must have passed the whole of the qualification(s) on which your application for exemption is based within the five years preceding the application.

If you are applying for Discretionary exemption(s) consideration will also be given if you have completed part of a degree level qualification that has been examined.
