International Entry Requirements

The School Leaving qualifications of all countries can be considered for entry to our courses, providing that the syllabus broadly equates to the content of UK Advanced level, particularly in Mathematics and Physics. The same criteria applies to Foundation courses. Below are details of entry requirements for some of the qualifications we most frequently admit, along with details of our English Language requirement. Please contact us with details of your course content if you have different qualifications and we will be happy to provide you with individually tailored advice. Equally, our Foundation Year can provide an entry route for students whose qualifications are not at the level to allow first year entry but have potential.
