I have finished my A/L’s however I do not qualify for the programme?

If you have obtained less than the stipulated criteria, yet are keen to follow a degree eventually, if you are 18 years or more and have 4 passes at your O/L’s and at least 1 pass at your A/L’s consider the certificate route Developed by academics at LSE. The Certificate of Higher Education (CertHE) in Social Sciences is a stand-alone qualification and a potential entry route to further undergraduate study.
