All applications to Glasgow University must be made on a UCAS application form. (UCAS website can be found at http://www.ucas.co.uk) You can obtain an application form from your school, college, or direct from UCAS.
Note: The Degree programmes in Computing Science and Software Engineering are identical in Levels 1 and 2. Differentiation takes place at the end of second year. You can put either on your UCAS application and there is no need to put both.
For entry into all degree programmes offered by the Department of Computing Science you have to meet the entry requirements for the Faculties of Science and also for the Department.
| Scottish Highers | BBBB inc 2 from Mathematics, Physics, Biology or Human Biology or Biotechnology; Chemistry, Geography, Geology, Computing Studies or Information Systems (at least one of Mathematics or Physics or Chemistry is desirable)
For entry to Computing Science, Electronic & Software Engineering or Software Engineering must have Mathematics at B or Higher Mathematics at C together with Higher Computing Studies or Information Systems at B.
Applicants to the above degrees are strongly advised to take the 3 Mathematics units in the Higher Still course.
If applicants are presenting with CSYS or Advanced Higher qualifications in a subject in which they already hold a Higher at grade B or better, the CSYS or Advanced Higher will not normally form part of the conditional offer. If an offer is made on the basis of CSYS or Advanced Higher performance a grade C at CSYS or Advanced Higher is deemed to equate to a grade B at Higher. |
|---|---|
| A Levels | BCC inc 2 from Mathematics, Physics, Biology or Human Biology; Chemistry, Geography, Geology, Computing Studies; Botany; Zoology; Statistics; Science (Double Syllabus) (at least one of Mathematics or Physics or Chemistry is desirable)
Applicants to degree courses in Computing Science, Electronic & Software Engineering, Software Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy or Statistics should normally have A-level Mathematics at C. |
Applications from International students are most welcome. These are dealt with on an individual basis. Please check http://www.gla.ac.uk:443/studying/international/ for more details.
Entry into Level 1 Computing Science requires a pass in an approved Science and Technology subject at HNC level and a pass in Higher Mathematics or equivalent.
An HND in a relevant subject will normally admit to the first year of degree programme. Admission to second year with a relevant HND may be possible with 4 Merits or specified grades in Integrated Assessments or Graded Units.
Further information about entry requirements for the Faculty of Science can be found in the university prospectus web pages
