International Students
We are able to accept a wide range of qualifications awarded overseas and use the UK NARIC (National Academic Recognition Information Centre) guidelines for international comparisons. As a general rule, a student will need to have completed 13 years of education at progressively higher levels and scored well in the appropriate final examinations.
We follow NARIC's guidelines, but are prepared to consider students on the basis of their whole application, including evidence of professional experience. For further information, visit NARIC's website at: www.naric.org.uk
As a guideline for international students, appropriate entry qualifications include:
-
International or European Baccalaureate
High School leaving examinations considered to be of an equivalent level to UK awards
-
UK Foundation/Access Programme
-
Junior College Diploma
-
Entry with credit/exemptions (i.e. direct entry to the second or third year of an undergraduate degree) may, very occasionally, be possible for students who have completed a relevant prior qualification (such as a recognised diploma).
English Language Requirements:
If English is not your first language, you will need to provide evidence that you can read, write, speak and understand to a level that enables you to undertake higher level study.
English language requirements for the majority of our undergraduate programmes are normally a minimum of:
- IELTSAcademic Version 6.0 or
- TOEFLComputer based 213 or
- TOEFLPaper-based 550
