ALTERNATIVE ROUTES TO ADMISSION:
Non-Standard Qualifications:
Glasgow Caledonian University will consider non-standard qualifications or Recognition of Prior Learning as equivalent to minimum entry qualifications as long as you can supply evidence.

Prior Learning Process:
The University will consider admission to an appropriate point in a programme of study with credit on the basis of prior learning and/or prior experiential learning. Such learning may be certificated or un-certificated.
