The Selection Process
Looking Beyond the Grades
Admissions at Skyfall International Academy is a bespoke process. We acknowledge that academic transcripts, while important, are historic documents. We are interested in your future potential. Consequently, we do not rely solely on algorithms or grade cut-offs to select our cohort. We review every application holistically, seeking evidence of intellectual curiosity, resilience, and a capacity for divergent thinking.
Entry Requirements
For Sixth Form (16+): We typically require a strong set of GCSEs (or international equivalent), with particular strength in the subjects chosen for A-Level. However, the decisive factor is often the Academic Interview. Candidates will meet with a subject specialist to discuss their interests. For Art and Design candidates, a portfolio review is mandatory. We are looking for raw talent and an ability to articulate creative decisions.
For Undergraduate (18+): Competition is rigorous. Standard offers for our Computer Science and Economics programmes are high (typically AAB-A*AA or equivalent). Yet, we frequently make contextual offers to students who demonstrate exceptional aptitude in our Internal Entrance Assessment—a problem-solving paper designed to test logic rather than rote memory.
For Postgraduate: We require a good Honours degree (2:1 or above) in a relevant discipline. More importantly, applicants must submit a Research Proposal outlining what they intend to investigate during their time at Ludgershall. We are looking for scholars who already have a burning question they need to answer.
