Qualifications You Can Use to Gain Direct Entry into Banking, Finance and Insurance
Not every Direct Entry applicant comes into university with the same qualification. For Banking, Finance and Insurance, the admission information recognises several academic and professional routes.
Qualifications mentioned for Direct Entry
- A-Level: Two A-Level passes in Accounting or Economics and one other subject.
- NCE: Merit in relevant subjects.
- ND: Credit level.
- Professional examinations: Foundation international examinations such as ICAN, ACCA, ICMA and GPFA.
These are the general qualifications stated in the programme information.
Do all universities accept them in the same way?
No. Individual universities can attach their own conditions. For example, the supplied material shows that some institutions specify particular A-Level subjects, ND or HND grades, professional qualifications or additional UTME requirements.
A Direct Entry candidate should therefore identify the university first and then confirm exactly what that university accepts. The name of a qualification alone is not enough; the level, subject area and institution-specific conditions may determine whether it can be used.
