Your Gateway to University
How Top-Up Degrees Work
All Ilford College academic programmes are Ofqual-accredited, ensuring their acceptance by universities. To progress, students must validate their qualifications with the OFQUAL RQF system, which the College supports through documentation and transcripts.
Progression Pathways
- Undergraduate Entry: Level 3 qualifications enable access to the first year of university.
- Top-Up Degrees: Levels 4 and 5 allow entry into second or final years of undergraduate degrees.
Students are encouraged to match their course of study to their previous qualifications but are not restricted to the same subject area. For many, completing these levels in English eliminates the need for additional language certifications such as IELTS.
