Academic Entry Requirements
Grade standard: 96-120 UCAS tariff points; A-level CCC / BTEC MMM (UCAS); grades alone do not determine an offer and lower/unconditional offers are made to exceptional candidates or those with alternative/prior experience. IELTS 7.0 overall, no component below 6.0 (official SELT page; some aggregators quote no component below 6.5 - conflict preserved, official figure used here; SELT evidence due by 1 August of enrolment year). Selection: INTERVIEW ONLY - offers are made only following a successful interview; overseas applicants unable to attend in person are offered a Zoom distance interview. Pakistan: NO official Pakistan threshold found on Central's own site (International Applicants and English Language Requirements pages searched Oct 2026; no country-specific Pakistan page retrievable) - applicants are assessed against the programme standard below and international qualifications not covered by the UCAS tariff can also be accepted; confirm HSSC equivalence with Admissions (admissions@cssd.ac.uk) before advising. Do NOT quote aggregator figures (e.g. Class XII 65% on Collegedunia, which is presented for Indian applicants) as a Pakistan threshold. Overseas offer-holders pay a GBP 2,000 deposit to accept; CAS is issued only after the offer is accepted, English is met and the deposit is paid (official fees page 2026/27).
