We would advise that all students check the academic entry requirements (GCSE, A-Levels or equivalent) for each course before applying for their Pathway.  Many courses specify that you must have achieved a specific grade at a specific level in order to be considered for a place on the undergraduate programme. Therefore, it is important that you clarify this information as early as possible in order to avoid disappointment.   

Please click here to be redirected to the Queen's University course finder, where you should find all necessary details - in particular, pre-requisite information.

Students completing this Pathway are eligible to apply for a range of courses under their subject area.  For the full list, have a look at our Pathway Courses Available document for further information.

In addition to this, you will attend a Careers Panel that will allow you to ask questions and seek answers from current industry professionals in a variety of roles.
