Apply for entry to second year

You can apply to enter the second year of many of our science, engineering, biomedical sciences and medical sciences degree programmes, and most art and design degree programmes.

For all other degree programmes, we only consider applications for second-year entry in exceptional circumstances. 

Consideration for first-year entry

If you have applied for second-year entry but you do not hold the necessary entry qualifications, your application will automatically be considered for first-year entry. This does not guarantee that you will receive an offer for first-year entry. 

Grades you will need

You can find details of the SQA, A level and IB grades required for entry to second year listed in our degree finder against relevant degrees programmes. 

If you are studying for other qualifications, contact us for advice about requirements.
