Entry Requirements

Undergraduate Courses (BA, BSc, LLB, MBBS, MEng)

Course entry requirements to study in the UK vary according to the course and institution. For many undergraduate courses you need qualifications that prove you will be able to study successfully. Many international qualifications meet entrance requirements to various undergraduate courses. UniAdmission will assist you in establishing the approximate UK equivalent of your qualifications.

To study in the UK you must normally be at least 17 years old (18 for medicine, in general) before the degree programme starts. The university also needs to be satisfied that you satisfy the entry requirements for the particular degree programme that you intend to study. A broad knowledge of education, plus an acceptable level of English literacy is expected.

The typical qualification in England and Wales is Advanced Level (A-level), while in Scotland the typical entry qualification is Scottish Higher. The entry requirements are an indication of the minimum grades/points required for each qualification. All applicants are selected on individual academic ability and therefore offer grades/points may vary. Details of the minimum course requirements are often different according to the department and popularity of the course at times. Hence early application is better. However, universities accept many other qualifications besides A-levels such as foundation and access courses (one year pre-university courses). Just contact UniAdmission and we will advise you of the suitability of your qualifications. If the university requires further qualifications we will advise you on the route to these qualifications. Just refer to our Foundation Courses. Relevant work experience can also be considered as an alternative to access courses.

Candidates who are in any doubt about the acceptability of their qualifications should contact UniAdmission before applying, giving details of subjects passed and to be taken.

Application
For all full-time courses at any UK University you must advise UniAdmission and we will forward UCAS forms to you. There is an application fee that is payable to UCAS. Applications for entry to university in Autumn should ideally be made between 1 September and 15 January of the previous year. However, even if you are late, just contact UniAdmission and we will give you all the help. We have in the past placed many students who have submitted their applications several months late. Just leave that to us.

Who makes the decisions on my application?
UCAS are not involved in the selection process, this is a matter for individual Admissions Tutors for the course(s) for which a candidate applies.

But UCAS can take too long?
That is no problem. Once you have submitted an application to us, contact us so that we can make direct enquiries through our channels to find out if the university is likely to give you an offer. For more details on how to apply, please visit our Apply Section.

If the process seems overwhelming, remember: there are usually just FIVE STEPS to accomplish:

The UniAdmission Undergraduate ON-LINE Application can simplify the application process. It lets you apply online to some of the best undergraduate programs in Britain, checks for accuracy and completeness. The on-line form is standard and is acceptable to all our partner universities.

Important Note: It is important to ensure that you send all the above documents, as the delay caused in having to seek any missing documents from you might adversely delay and prejudice your application. If your A-levels or equivalents or Foundation access courses verification are to be obtained, any offer made to you will be conditional.
