GENERAL ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
The University of Liverpool welcomes applications from everyone with the potential to succeed in higher education.
In principle we consider any qualification at Level 3 or above in the National Qualifications Framework for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, or its equivalent in the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework.
This also includes pre-Curriculum 2000 qualifications and a wide range of European and other international qualifications. More about qualifications.
General requirements
We require all applicants for undergraduate programmes to demonstrate a good general education, which includes acceptable levels of literacy and numeracy, normally equivalent to at least Grade C at GCSE in English and Mathematics.
Individual programmes may have additional requirements, and these are outlined in our online prospectus.
English language requirements
International students must have an internationally-recognised English language qualification. For further advice on the acceptability of a full range of qualifications for students whose first language is not English, see our English language entry requirements.
Age restrictions
The University admits students on the basis of individual merit and does not discriminate on grounds of age. However, special arrangements are in place for students who will be under the age of 18 on arrival at the University. For more information, please see the Undergraduate Admissions Policy.
THE UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL - STUDY AT LIVERPOOL - APPLYING THROUGH UCAS
APPLICATIONS FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL MUST BE MADE THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGES ADMISSIONS SERVICE (UCAS).
ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Our UCAS code is LVRPL L41.
For some programmes, particularly in Combined Honours, you will need to indicate your choice of subjects in the Further Details field in the Choices section of the online application system.
UCAS deadlines
You can apply to UCAS from 1 September for entry the following autumn.
The normal closing date for receipt of UK and EU applications is 15 January following which you can apply through UCAS Extra.
International students may apply between 1 September and 30 June.
If you are including Oxford or Cambridge, or programmes leading to a professional qualification in Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Science in your choices, then the closing date is 15 October in the year prior to entry.
Application fee
UCAS charges an application fee, which for 2010 entry will be £19 if you choose between two and five choices or £9 if you make only one choice on the UCAS form.
Tracking the progress of your application
You can track the progress of your application through the UCAS website. You will need your UCAS application number and the same username and password you used to complete your application. For more information go to the UCAS 'track your progress' pages.
Deferred entry
In many cases you can defer entry by one year, especially if you wish to gain relevant work experience or improve your language skills.
You must satisfy the entry requirements before 31 August of the UCAS year in which you apply. In other words, if you apply during 2009-10 for 2011 entry, you would need to be able to satisfy the entry requirements by 31 August 2010.
Direct entry to Year 2
We consider students for direct entry to year 2 of an undergraduate course. Indicate on your UCAS form that you wish to be considered for direct entry to year 2.
Plagiarism
UCAS now scan all personal statements for possible plagiarism using detection software.If UCAS alert us to the possibility of plagiarism they will send an email to both us and you, and we will require you to submit a fresh personal statement before deciding if we can allow your application to go ahead.
For more details, please see our Undergraduate Admissions Policy.
Fraudulent statements and omissions
It is important that you include all relevant information on your UCAS application, without any omissions. The University follows the UCAS rules and procedures concerning fraudulent applications and liaises closely with the UCAS Verification Unit to prevent fraud.
We will refer to UCAS any application that we suspect to be fraudulent or to contain fraudulent information. We reserve the right to cancel an application or withdraw any offer made on the basis of an application which we have found to be fraudulent.
Any student found to have been admitted on the basis of fraudulent information may have their studies terminated. International students who have been admitted on the basis of fraudulent information may be reported to the relevant government agency.
QUALIFICATIONS
While many of our school-leaving applicants apply with A/AS-levels, we also consider a wide range of UK and international qualifications.
A/AS Levels
A large proportion of our school-leaving applicants from England, Wales and Northern Ireland apply to us with four or more AS-levels that they have studied in year 12, with three or four of these taken to A-level in year 13.
We accept both GCE A/AS-levels and A/AS-levels in Applied Subjects. We will normally ask for at least two subjects to have been studied to full A-level, which means that it may be acceptable in some departments to take an additional AS-level in year 13 and apply with two A-levels and two AS-levels.
Other UK qualifications
We consider a wide range of UK qualifications, including:
Scottish Advanced Higher
14 to 19 Advanced Diplomas
the International Baccalaureate
Welsh Baccalaureate
BTEC Awards
AQA Baccalaureate
Cambridge Pre-U
Access to Higher Education Diploma.
International/EU qualifications
We will consider any international qualification that is equivalent to Level 3 in the National Qualifications Framework, including the International and European Baccalaureates, Irish Leaving Certificate, Chinese Senior High School examinations, Hong Kong and Singapore A-levels, and Indian Standard XII .
More advice on the acceptability of a range of non-UK qualifications may be found on our international country pages.

This page outlines the process by which we consider undergraduate applications and make offers.
Once we have received your application, we will confirm by post and pass it to the admissions tutor for the course(s) you have chosen.

Undergraduate Admissions Policy
At Liverpool, we believe in treating each application individually on its own merits. In order to help applicants and their advisers to understand how we approach admissions, we publish our Undergraduate Admissions Policy.
UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS POLICY
At Liverpool we believe in treating each application individually on its own merits.
In order to help applicants and their advisors to understand how we approach admissions, we have produced an Undergraduate Admissions Policy.
This policy document provides information on various aspects of admissions, including roles and responsibilities, the principles we apply in arriving at admissions decisions, a description of the admissions process and what to do if you feel you have grounds for complaint.
The Undergraduate Admissions Policy is supplemented by individual departmental documents which detail the process of decision-making and the criteria used by the department in assessing applications.
The departmental supplements also explain whether the department makes use of interviews or other forms of assessment, and if so, how these additional criteria will be assessed.
STUDENTS WITH SUPPORT NEEDS
The University of Liverpool is committed to supporting students with specific needs and considers all applications on the same academic grounds.
Students with Disabilities
If you indicate a disability on your UCAS application, we will invite you to discuss your support needs with a member of the Disability Support Team so that any necessary support can be arranged.
Applicants who have spent a period in Local Authority Care
The University is committed to supporting care leavers and has achieved the Frank Buttle Trust Quality Mark. This is in recognition of its plan of action to support students who have been in the care of a UK Local Authority as a looked-after child.
When an applicant indicates on the UCAS application that they have been in care, we will contact them on receipt of the application to let them know of the support services we have available. We will invite them, if they wish, to provide further details of how their experience of being in care has impacted on their educational attainment
For more information on UCAS procedures relating to the detection of fraudulent applications, please see the UCAS website.
