  • Early childhood studies
  • Education studies
  • Special educational needs

How to check whether a course accepts it

  1. 1Open the official page for the exact degree, not only the university's general admissions page.
  2. 2Match the full T Level title, required overall grade, GCSE conditions and any additional A Level subject.
  3. 3If the page only says "T Levels accepted", ask admissions to confirm your qualification and occupational specialism in writing.
