Find out what you need to submit, what previous studies meet the general entry requirements, how to meet the English requirement and any special instructions for your country of study.
Meeting the general entry requirements
A Bachelor's degree meets the criteria (for all years, including National Diploma/Higher National Diploma if accounted for in the bachelor’s degree).
Meeting the English requirement
You can meet the English requirement with your previous upper secondary studies with a passing grade in the English Language course in the General Certificate of Education (GCE) Ordinary Level / Advanced Level/ Baccalauréat Technique/ Brevet de Technicien.
If you’re documenting your English based on your upper secondary studies, you must provide documentation in order to demonstrate you meet the requirement.
In order to complete your admissions application, you must provide the following documents so they arrive at University Admissions by the deadline.
Certificates and diplomas of your completed degree(s) from an internationally recognised higher education institution.
The certificate/diploma must be officially issued by a representative of the Academic Registrar's Office, the Examinations Office, or the equivalent office that issues official transcripts of records at your university.
Transcripts of completed courses and grades for each semester included in your degree. If you have had courses credited/transferred from previous studies, you must also submit official transcripts for those courses.
