Information from this Institution
Institution´s policy towards use of 14-19 Diplomas
From September 2008 a considerable number of 14-19 year olds will be studying for the new 14-19 Diplomas throughout England. The University of Wolverhampton is delighted to welcome applications from students who have completed the Diplomas at an appropriate level. We consider the new Diplomas to be a valuable and valid progression route that will equip students well for working and studying at HE level, as well as preparing entrants for the world of work. We look forward to welcoming entrants who follow this route to the University.
