Entry requirements

The Student Admissions Service may consider applications from candidates who do not meet our Standard Entry Requirements, but do have significant evidence of their abilities and work experience. An applicant's employer should be supportive and, where possible, provide a workplace with learning guidance and mentoring to create a suitable workplace environment in which the student will be able to obtain the necessary experience and learning outcomes. Applications from students with non-standard qualifications/work experience will be considered on an individual basis. Potential applicants are encouraged to discuss with the Student Admissions Service if there are any queries around entry requirements that you need assistance with. Employment: All applicants should be employed in a full or part time position (minimum of 21 hours per week), relevant to their course of study and have the right to live and work in Scotland SQA Higher: Four highers at BBCC OR Experience: Applicants should have at least a year's relevant work experience. This would be work in a law firm or in house legal team, or in a sufficiently analogous role such as the office function in a contracts department, housing agency or consumer advice service, as an alternative. These roles should demonstrate the development of key skills evidenced through a detailed CV as part of the application. Alternative Qualifications Applications are welcomed from those with equivalent qualifications to those stated, including Foundation Apprenticeships (SCQF 6), SVQs/NVQs, access programmes and overseas qualifications. Interviews or meetings with the Course Leader may be required on a case-by-case basis.
