Skills and universities minister Robert Halfon has told vice chancellors to publicly clarify whether or not they will accept T Levels as valid entry qualifications for their universities.
In a letter sent to vice chancellors today, Halfon said there were “too many instances” where T Level students are unsure whether they can apply for university courses because of unclear entry criteria.
He said: “We know that many Higher Education institutions have already assimilated T Levels into their admissions process, and provided a public statement on their entry requirements. However, there remain many instances where students are unsure if they can apply to a course at a university they are interested in, because the entry requirements for T Levels are unclear.
“This places such students in a difficult and uncertain position, as their UCAS choices naturally hold long-term implications for their future.”
