Approaches to T Levels in admissions

28 June 2023

Russell Group universities admit students from a wide range of backgrounds who have the potential and motivation to succeed on challenging university programmes. They are committed to fair admissions and give equal consideration to all applicants who possess the required knowledge and skills.

It is important that students are adequately prepared to deal with the demands of higher-level study. Whilst some T Level subjects will provide a good foundation for admission to related degree courses, others may not, particularly where subject specific content is not covered within the T Level course.

There are currently 16 T Level courses available to post-16 students, three of these have been available long enough for a cohort to complete the two-year course. Our universities have reviewed their admissions policies with consideration to the new T Level qualifications and will continue to review their policies as each new T Level course becomes available for study.
