Dear University of Cambridge,

I would like to request information regarding the policy on the non-acceptance of BTEC qualifications for any of your courses. Specifically, I would like details on:

1) The reasoning or rationale behind the decision not to accept BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma on its own as part of your entry requirements for your courses. If you do accept the extended diploma on its own please list what course it is.

2) Any internal documents, policies, or meeting minutes that outline the review process and the decision-making criteria for qualification acceptance.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Reighard
