It will provide event space for our 200 societies, sports clubs and student networks and give them the opportunity to develop and grow. It’s a really exciting time for students at UWE Bristol, and we are proud that the new building will be pivotal in making sure we make a difference to students’ lives.”

The development of Bower Ashton Campus will include provision for traditional making alongside the most modern and high-tech facilities that are used in the creative industries today.

Many courses include placements or other work-based opportunities, both locally and internationally. Evidence shows these lead to better grades and higher salaries.
We’re very active on the internship scene, in particular taking advantage of the rapidly increasing small business sector, which is booming across our city.
We’ve also hundreds of volunteering opportunities which will give you transferable skills and enhance your CV. You could consider teaching ‘silver surfers’ how to access the internet, reading with kids or taking part in a beach-clean, for example.
Student enterpriseEmployers are increasingly looking to find students and graduates with innovation, creativity, leadership and networking skills. That’s why we encourage you to get involved with one or more of our enterprise networks at UWE Bristol. These include Enactus, the UWE Bristol Marketing Society and UWE InnovEnters (Innovation and Enterprise Society).

UWE Bristol Futures AwardAll these extra-curricular activities can be counted towards a UWE Bristol Futures Award. This formally recognises the variety of skills and experience you’ve gained while at university, celebrating your activities and achievements and helping to build your CV.
The award is recorded on your Higher Education Achievement Report and recognised at your graduation ceremony. It’s a lasting reminder to you - and potential employers - that you made the most of your time at university.

How to apply for entry in 2016
141
Making your choice• Before making a firm commitment,
carefully consider all the offers you
have received.
• Be realistic about any exam results you
are expecting and whether these will
match the offers and conditions you
need to meet.
• Choose the subject that most interests
you – motivation is very important.
• Take account of the environment in
which you will live and study.
• Find out if your cultural, sporting, and
social interests will be catered for.
• Consider how far away from family,
friends or partners you will be living,
and what the cost of travel will be.
• Review the financial aspects, budget
for your tuition fees and living costs
and find out what additional support is
on offer from the universities you have
applied to.
If, when you receive your exam results,
they do not match the conditions of your
UWE Bristol offer, check your status on
UCAS or the UWE Bristol Welcome website
as we may have already confirmed your
place, or contact us immediately to discuss
the options available to you.

You will see the entry requirements at the top of each course listing. We keep our entry requirements as straightforward as possible – and we explain below the different ways you can gain a place on the course of your choice.
UCAS tariff pointsWe make our offers using UCAS tariff
points. We accept points from all
qualifications in the UCAS tariff (with the
exception of Level 2 Key Skills and Level 2
Functional Skills).
This means you can include points from
a variety of qualifications, including (but
not limited to): A and AS Levels in General
Studies and Critical Thinking; extra AS
Levels you did not take to A2; Music and
Drama; Welsh Bacc Core; CoPE (Certificate
of Professional Effectiveness); etc.
On page 144 you will see some, but not all,
the qualifications in the UCAS tariff. Please
see the UCAS website for the complete list.
International qualificationsWe accept a very wide range of
international qualifications, including:
Baccalauréat (France); Abitur (Germany);
Matura (Poland); Apolytirion (Greece);
STPM (Malaysia); Tot Nghiep Pho Thong
Trung Hoc (Vietnam); etc. You will find full
details on our website.
Required subjectsFor some courses, we specify subjects
and grades that you must achieve. There
are two reasons for this: usually it is
because you need to have reached a
certain standard in a subject in order to
succeed on the degree course. For some
courses, such as teaching and nursing,
these subjects and grades are required by
professional bodies or the Government.
Subjects may be required at GCSE Level,
or at A-Level, Extended Diploma, IB, or
equivalent. It is really important that you
check that you will have the required
subjects for your course, and contact us (or
enquire at an Open Day) if you are unsure.
English Language and MathsWe require an English Language
qualification for all courses: we accept
GCSE English Language grade C or IELTS
6.0 (International English Language Test)
with no less than 5.5 in any one element.
Note we require IELTS 7.0 for Health and
Social Care courses. The minimum for each
element varies for different courses. For
details please see the website page for the
course you’re interested in.
GCSE Maths and/or Science grade C is
required for many of our courses. Please
note: the following qualifications are not
sufficient alternatives to GCSE Maths and
English Language at grade C or above:
Level 2 Key Skills in Communication and
Application of Number; Level 2 Certificates
in Adult Numeracy and Literacy; and Level
2 Functional Skills in Maths and English.
Although these Level 2 qualifications are at
the same level as GCSE Grades A-C within
the Qualification and Credit Framework
(QCF), they do not cover the full breadth of
knowledge demanded by GCSEs. Therefore
Key Skills and Certificates in Adult
Numeracy or Literacy must be Level 3 or
above for us to accept them as alternatives
to GCSEs grade C and above.
Access courses An Access to Higher Education Diploma is
often the best route for adults without the
academic qualifications normally required,
but whose life and work experience has
given them a strong motivation to go
to university.
We are happy to consider for all our
courses students who are taking or have
passed a QAA-recognised Access to Higher
Education Diploma or Adult Learners
Credit Framework Progression to Higher
Education Certificate.
For courses that have ‘required subjects’
you normally have to include these subjects
within your Access course, so please
contact us for advice. We usually require
particular grades.
An alternative to an Access course can
be our Foundation years. The best way
to explore these is to come to an Open
Day, or you can contact us for advice. We
offer Foundation years in the following
subjects: Built and Natural Environments;
Computing; Engineering; Heath
Professions; Mathematics; and Science. If
you successfully complete a Foundation
year, you can join the first year of a related
degree course.
Entry requirements
143
Heading Higher Passport (HHP) PlusHHP Plus is a widening participation
scheme that brings together Enrichment
Programmes taught in local schools and
colleges in partnership with UWE Bristol.
We provide a range of experiences and
activities that have potential to raise
aspirations, and increase awareness of
the opportunities available in Higher
Education, to support learners in decisions
about their future. To find out more visit:
www.uwe.ac.uk/schoolsandcolleges.
Interviews, auditions and portfolio reviewsFor some courses, we may ask you to
attend a selection event such as an
interview, audition or portfolio review
as part of the admissions process. The
individual course listings will tell you if this
happens for your course. Typically:
• Creative Industries – applicants bring
examples of their creative work (their
‘portfolio’) which they discuss with
course tutors.
• Creative Music Technology and Drama
and Acting – applicants come for an
audition and discussion with
course tutors.
• Initial Teacher Training and Health
and Social Care – applicants attend an
interview with course tutors.
Initial Teacher Education (ITE) courses In addition to meeting the entry
requirements stated in the course entry
you must:
• Satisfy the Department of Education
about your suitability for the teaching
profession and your ability to undertake
a course of training. For further
information please see the webpage for
the course you’re interested in.
• Provide a satisfactory Declaration of
Health and a further declaration on
criminal convictions (Disclosure and
Barring Service clearance) before taking
up the place.
• Show competence in the use of English
Language and Maths – you must pass
the Professional Skills Test in literacy
and numeracy before starting
the course.
For further information please visit the
Department of Education website.
Health and Social Care coursesIn addition to meeting the academic entry
requirements stated in the course entry
you must:
• Demonstrate your suitability and
ability to study the course. For further
information please see the webpage for
the course you’re interested in.
• Provide a satisfactory Declaration of
Health and a further declaration on
criminal convictions (Disclosure and
Barring Service clearance) before taking
up the place.
• Some courses also ask you to show
competency in the use of English
Language and Maths. You will
undertake literacy and numeracy tests
when you attend an interview.
Students with experience but not the usual entry requirementsWe can sometimes accept students onto
a course who do not have the usual entry
requirements but who have substantial
experience (usually a period of years) in a
field closely related to the course. We need
to be sure such students are adequately
prepared for the academic methods
of teaching and assessment they will
encounter on the course, and we will often
recommend they take an Access course or
Foundation year (see page 138,142) before
joining a degree course.
Minimum entry requirementsFor an Honours degree course you normally
need two A-Levels or the equivalent, such
as a BTEC Diploma or Extended Diploma; IB
(International Baccalaureate); or Access to
Higher Education Diploma. For Foundation
degree or Foundation year courses, you
normally need one A-Level or equivalent.
Many other qualifications meet our
minimum entry requirements please see our
website for details.
Students who achieve the UCAS tariff
points required (and have passed an
English Language qualification – see
page 142) will almost always have gained
qualifications that meet our minimum entry
requirements. However, if you have only
taken a number of smaller qualifications
(such as AS-Levels or Music and Drama
qualifications) you should contact us
for advice.

Financing your studies can be a bit of a juggling act. UWE Bristol can help and advise you, whether you’re a UK student, EU, international, NHS-funded, full-time, part-time or any combination.These pages offer an overview of fees,
other costs and financial help available at
the time of going to print. You must check
the websites for the latest information.
Fees and other costsHow much are the tuition fees?
Full-time study
At the time of printing this prospectus, the
tuition fees for 2016 have not been set.
Our fees are currently £9,000 a year for UK
and EU undergraduates and £11,250 for
international undergraduates.
Annual fees for UK and EU undergraduates
studying Foundation degrees at one of
UWE Bristol’s Federation Partner Colleges
are currently £7,500. Tuition fees for NHS-
funded courses are paid by the NHS for the
ordinary duration of the course.
Part-time study
Tuition fees for part-time study are up
to the pro-rata amount of the full-time
equivalent. Please note, international
students are not normally able to study
part-time, due to the immigration
restrictions of the Tier 4 student visa.
It is likely that 2016 fees will remain broadly
the same, but please see our website for
updated information on all fees:
www.uwe.ac.uk/money.
Don’t let fees get in the way of you
fulfilling your potential. Check out page
148 -149 for information about funding
your tuition fees.
Course costsYour course will involve additional costs,
such as books, printing, photocopying,
optional field trips or software. The tuition
fees cover the costs of compulsory field trips.
Living costsIf you are living away from home while
you study, you will need to cover costs
such as accommodation, travel, bills, food
etc. We currently calculate average living
costs for a single student living in a shared
house as between £7,000 - £12,000 (£175
- £300/week). This does not include tuition
fees. These costs are based on a 40-week
academic year.

What financial support is there for me?There are many sources of funding but for
UK and EU students, most fall mainly into
two categories: help from UWE Bristol and
help from government. Some are repayable,
some are not. It is important to check out
your entitlement before you start your
studies, especially if you have previously
studied at university.
Financial help from UWE Bristol
UWE Bristol has one of the largest packages
of financial support in the UK. We aim to
help make sure everyone with potential has
the opportunity to study with us, regardless
of social or financial background.
Bursaries (non-repayable)
We have a generous bursary scheme, which
puts money in your pocket when you need
it most: during your studies. The Bursary
Scheme for 2016 has not yet been finalised.
Other non-repayable bursaries (such as
music and sports scholarships) are also
available. For example, if you’re an elite
sports person, you could qualify for a full
bursary and additional support package.
University scholarships and grants
(non-repayable)
There are some bursaries and scholarships
available from individual departments.
Hardship funds (non-repayable)
UWE Bristol provides a large fund for UK
students who find themselves in financial
difficulty while studying. Awards are
generally between £100 and £1,000. In
exceptional cases students may receive
significantly more. We give priority to
students who are unable to work part-time
due to a disability or caring responsibilities.
International scholarships
(non-repayable)
Each year we offer a variety of international
and country-specific scholarships for
international students. The majority are
partial tuition fee waivers, where payment
is made against your tuition fee and reduces
the amount you are required to pay.
Short-term loans (repayable)
UWE Bristol can provide small, interest-free
loans to students in temporary financial
difficulties (if, for instance, payment of your
funding is delayed at the start of the year).
For further details on UWE Bristol funding,
please visit: www.uwe.ac.uk/money
Financial help from government – tuition fees (UK and EU students only)
Tuition Fee loan - repayable
You can apply for a fee loan to cover your
annual tuition fees.
NHS-funded courses: if you are studying an
NHS-funded course such as midwifery,
you can apply to the NHS to pay your
tuition fees.
Financial help from government – living costs (UK students only)
Student Finance Living Cost loan
(repayable)
This is available to full-time English-resident
students from Student Finance England
(SFE). If you are from Scotland, Northern
Ireland or Wales, you can apply for the loan
from Student Awards Agency for Scotland,
Student Finance Northern Ireland and
Student Finance Wales.
The loan is paid into your bank account at
the start of each term. See below for terms
and conditions of the fee and living
cost loans.
Student Finance Maintenance grant
(non-repayable)
Again, from SFE, an income-assessed grant
is available for students with a household
income up to £42,000.
NHS Bursaries
If you are studying a healthcare course
(Physiotherapy, Radiography, Nursing,
Occupational Therapy or Midwifery), your
tuition fees are paid for by the NHS. You
are also eligible to apply for an NHS student
bursary and grant for living costs.
(continued)
Money matters
149
Help for students with children
(non-repayable)
Both the NHS Business Services Authority
SA and Student Finance provide additional
support to UK students with dependants,
including help with childcare. This
additional support is income-assessed.
Social work bursaries
If you are registered on a social work
course, English-resident students may be
eligible for a bursary in the second and
third years of study, alongside the standard
student funding.
State benefits (non-repayable)
UK students studying part-time, or full-
time students who are disabled or who
have dependants may be eligible to
receive welfare benefits and tax credits
while studying.
Trusts and charities
(non-repayable)
There are a large number of organisations
who may provide additional financial
support to students, but demand for these
funds can be very high. There’s useful
information on: www.gov.uk.
Terms and conditions of the fee and living cost loansGovernment lends you the money for your
fees and (UK students only) for your living
costs. Once you graduate, you start to
pay it back when you’re earning at least
£21,000 per year. At that point, nine per
cent of your earnings above £21,000 per
year will be deducted from your salary
by your employer. So, for example, if you
earn £25,000 per year you will pay nine per
cent of £4,000 per year, which works out at
£6.92 per week.
If you never earn above the threshold,
you will never repay the loan. Thirty years
after graduation any remaining debt is
cancelled.
Repayments are based on what you earn,
not on what you owe. So whether your
course costs £6,000 per year or £9,000 per
year, you’ll repay the same each month.
Student loans do not go on your credit file.

Glossary
Some of the expressions used in the prospectus may be unfamiliar to you. This glossary gives a brief definition of each term.Access courseThis is a course of study, usually one year
full-time, run at local colleges of further
education as a preparation for entry
into higher education. Access courses are
designed for adults returning to study who
may have left education without standard
qualifications.
Accredited Learning (AL)Accredited Experiential Learning (AEL)
These schemes allow you to gain credit
for successful previous study (AL), or
for knowledge and skills gained in the
workplace or elsewhere (AEL) provided
the subject is valid for your course of
study. Such credit may be counted towards
the credit total needed for the higher
education programme for which you
register. Please contact us if you think you
are eligible for AL.
AlumniAlumni are former students of
the University.
AwardWithin UWE Bristol, you may come across a
course being referred to as an award. Strictly
speaking, the award (ie a degree) is the
qualification that you get at the end of your
course. Sometimes, courses are also called
programmes.

undergraduate degree in an arts or arts-
related subject (eg business management).
BEngBachelor of Engineering; the name given to

Credit Accumulation and Transfer Scheme (CATS)All UWE Bristol’s courses are credit-rated,
and the credit values correspond with the
national CATS scheme. This means that
students may be able to carry over credits
from previous successful study within UWE
Bristol if they wish to resume their studies
at a later date, or transfer their credits to or
from another institution. The notional study
time to gain 10 credits is normally 100 hours.
DipHEA Diploma of Higher Education is a
qualification which may be gained on
successful completion of the first two years
(or equivalent) of an undergraduate degree
studied full-time.
European Credit Transfer Scheme (ECTS)A credit scheme which allows you to carry
credits between a recognised institution
outside the UK (if you are, for instance,
doing an exchange) and the University.
First degreeThis is another name for an
undergraduate degree.
Foundation degree (FdA, FdSc or FdEng)A Foundation degree is an intermediate
work-related course (240 credits) developed
in conjunction with employers. The
abbreviation FdSc is used for a technical
or science-based award, FdEng for an
engineering-based course and FdA for an
arts-based award.
Foundation yearA Foundation year is a one year course
studied full-time which may be taken as an
integral part of your first degree course.
HNCA Higher National Certificate is a course
created by the Business and Technician
Education Council (BTEC, now part of
Edexcel), usually obtained by part time
day and/or evening attendance. An HNC is
normally considered equivalent to the first
year of an undergraduate degree studied
full-time.
HNDA Higher National Diploma is a course
created by the Business and Technician
Education Council (BTEC, now part of
Edexcel). An HND is normally considered
equivalent to the first two years of an
undergraduate degree studied full-time.
Honours/HonsAn Honours (Hons) degree requires a higher
level of student attainment and number of
credits (360) than a degree without honours
(300 credits). Honours degrees are graded
in four classes: First (1), Upper Second (2:1),
Lower Second (2:2), and Third (3).
A degree without honours is called an
Unclassified or Ordinary degree.
Interim awardThis is a certificate (Certificate of Higher
Education 120 credits) or diploma (Diploma
of Higher Education 240 credits) which you
may be awarded if you are unable
to complete the course for which you
originally registered.
IntermittingIntermitting is an interruption to your study.
If you are unable to continue studying, you
may ask permission to intermit, and resume
your studies at a later date. You do not lose
any credit already gained.
LevelSee Module.
MEngMaster of Engineering is an undergraduate
degree extended by one year beyond the
BEng, to give an ‘Integrated Masters’.
MPlanMaster of Planning is an undergraduate
degree extended by one year beyond the
BA(Hons), to give an ‘Integrated Masters’.
Modular programmeAll our undergraduate and most of our
postgraduate courses are modular,
which means that the course is divided
into modules.
ModuleA module is a unit of study requiring a
certain amount of notional study time.
Modules conform to one of the following
levels:
Level 0 = foundation
Level 1 = first year of an undergraduate
degree (full-time)
Level 2 = second year of an undergraduate
degree (full-time)
Level 3 = final year of an undergraduate
degree (full-time)
Level M = postgraduate
The credit value of a module depends on the
amount of study time and the assessment
load. Modules are worth between 10 credits
(100 hours of notional study time) and 60
credits (600 hours).

The small print
Welcoming diversityEquality of opportunity is one of the core
values of the University. We welcome
applicants from a wide range of academic
and social backgrounds.
We consider each application on the
basis of an applicant’s suitability for the
course applied for, at the same time
acknowledging the statutory requirements
of the University and professional bodies.
The University is committed to enabling
equality of opportunity in access to study
courses, assessment and the development
and delivery of the curriculum.
We aim to provide a working and
learning environment free from any kind
of discrimination or harassment. We
encourage staff and students at every level
within the organisation to commit to
these values.
Disabled studentsThe University welcomes applications from
disabled students and students with mental
health issues, serious medical conditions and
specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia.
Approximately 2,600 students currently
enrolled at UWE Bristol have declared that
they have issues of this kind. Applicants may
be asked to provide additional information
about their access and support needs or
attend a pre-entry visit before an offer of a
place is made.
The aim of this is to ensure that it is possible
for the University to meet the needs of its
students and to provide equal educational
opportunity. The ability of the University to
assist students depends on full disclosure by
the student of relevant information.
The University treats such information
in confidence and it is not disclosed
to any staff other than those directly
concerned with the organisation of support
arrangements.
Disability Advisers support students with
all health and disability related queries and
will put in place reasonable adjustments
and arrange for support.
Criminal convictionsIf you have a criminal conviction, you must
declare it on your application form. The
University may ask you to provide further
details of the nature of the conviction. We
will be unable to proceed with considering
your application until this information
has been provided. Further information
on the admission of applicants with
criminal convictions is available from the
Admissions Office.
WithdrawalApplicants have the right to cancel their
acceptance of a place at the University up
to the beginning of the academic year for
which the offer has been made.
CommentsThe University welcomes comments
on its courses from students’ parents
and sponsors. However, the University’s
contracts are with its students and not with
third parties.
The UWE CharterWe are committed to the quality and
continuous improvement of the student
experience. Our Charter sets out the
framework of a key partnership between
students, academics and our professional
services. By all of us working within this
framework, we hope that you will have the
best possible experience both academically
and socially and help us to improve our
students’ experience year by year.

RegistrationRegistration as a student means that
you agree to be bound by the rules and
regulations of the University. If you would
like to find out about these regulations
in advance you can read our Academic
Regulations and our Tuition Fee Payment
Policy on our website.
Data protectionPersonal data about students, including
records of academic achievements, are
stored by the University in accordance with
the Data Protection Act. The Data Controller
for applicant details is the Director of
Student and Partnership Services.

Quality assuranceThe University’s quality assurance processes
are subject to audit by the Quality Assurance
Agency for Higher Education (QAA).
DisclaimerThe University of the West of England has
made every effort to make this prospectus as
accurate as possible at the time of going to
press. However, it should be noted that the
prospectus is printed 2 years in advance. The
University continually enhances our offer by
responding to feedback from our students and
other stakeholders, ensuring the curriculum
is kept up to date and our graduates are
equipped with the knowledge and skills they
need for the real world. This may result in
changes to our courses following publication.
The most up to date version of a course will be
found on our website.
There may be instances whereby we have to
withdraw or combine courses due to limited
demand as this will have a negative impact on
the student experience (courses are unlikely
to run with less than 20 students). When this
is the case, we will do our best to advise you
no later than 4 months before the start of the
course and to provide a suitable alternative.
