Business and Finance BA (Hons)

Published standard: 96 UCAS points — A-level CCC/BCD, BTEC L3 Extended Diploma MMM, Access to HE 60 credits (45 at Level 3, 45 credits at merit) — Wolverhampton's published standard for this course family (wlv.ac.uk course pages / UCAS); confirm the exact tariff on the individual course page, as some courses set higher/specific-subject requirements. IELTS in next column. PAKISTAN — READ FIRST (25 Oct 2026): RESTRICTED/PAUSED FOR UG. Financial Times reporting 5 Dec 2025 (repeated in Oct 2026 round-ups, incl. Medium 3 Oct 2026 list and Westside 2027 CAS guide) states Wolverhampton 'stopped accepting undergraduate applications' / 'is not accepting undergraduate applications' from Pakistan and Bangladesh. NO end date was given in those reports and NO resumption statement was found in any source searched 25 Oct 2026, so the UG pause must be treated as STILL UNCONFIRMED-OPEN — do NOT submit a Pakistan UG application or take a deposit on the assumption it has lifted; get written confirmation from Admissions (internationaladmissions@wlv.ac.uk) first. This is a recruitment pause, NOT a sponsor-licence suspension: no source found 25 Oct 2026 says Wolverhampton's Student sponsor licence was suspended (the 30 Sep 2026 licence suspension reported that week was Buckinghamshire New University), but re-check the GOV.UK Register of Licensed Sponsors: Students on the day any payment is made. PAKISTAN THRESHOLD — FORMERLY OFFICIAL, NOT LIVE-VERIFIABLE 25 Oct 2026: a search-indexed copy of wlv.ac.uk/international/your-country/pakistan/ (crawl ~318 days before 25 Oct 2026, i.e. ~Dec 2025) carried: UG — HSSC minimum 80% or above (75% from the Science Stream) with minimum 70% in a relevant subject; UG English — 70%/140 points or above in HSSC/school-leaving English; PG — 4-year bachelor's 50% in Engineering/Science subjects, 55% in other subjects, OR 2-year bachelor's (pass) PLUS 2-year master's at 50% GPA, OR 3-year bachelor's (pass) PLUS 1-year master's at 50% GPA. The LIVE fetch of that same page on 25 Oct 2026 returns ONLY the official-agents list — no academic thresholds at all — so these figures are NOT quotable as current live official thresholds; confirm the current Pakistan threshold with Admissions before advising any applicant. Do NOT substitute India's figures (Standard XII 60-63%; PG 2:2 = 55%) for Pakistan. PAKISTAN OPERATIONAL RULES (official International FAQs, wlv.ac.uk, live 25 Oct 2026): Pakistan applicants MUST attend a pre-CAS interview; CAS is only requested after a successful pre-CAS interview, unconditional offer, bank statement showing funds, and a valid TB certificate; standard deposit £8,000 for UG/PGT (MRes £10,500) payable before a CAS can be requested — Pakistan is NOT on the official full-first-year-fee deposit country list, so the standard deposit applies unless the offer letter states otherwise; part-time study is NOT available to international students on visa grounds. AGENT STATUS: FM Consultants does NOT appear on Wolverhampton's published Pakistan agents list (live page 25 Oct 2026: AECC Global, BICAS, Campus Connections, Edvoy, Elizabeth School of London (Pakistan), HS Business & IT Solution, IDP, IGE Overseas, JNS Education, London Student Services, Pathways Global Education, Q&A Consultants, Shabuj Global Education, SI-UK, UKEC Pakistan, World Consultant) — confirm contracted-representative status in writing before submitting via FM; the page says using a listed representative is encouraged, not compulsory, and direct application is also offered. SCHOLARSHIP NOT DEDUCTED: Academic Excellence Undergraduate Scholarship (2026/27, official fees page) — Year 1 £5,000 for Sep/Nov 2026 and Jan 2027 intakes, £4,000 for other intakes; Year 2 £2,000; Year 3 £2,000; privately-funded international offer-holders only, not combinable with another award — confirm eligibility, as a paused Pakistan UG route may affect availability.

6.0 overall, no component below 5.5 (Wolverhampton standard UG IELTS, wlv country pages; course-specific exceptions apply — see entry)
