Undergraduate - Year 2 & 3

If you have achieved a Foundation Degree, CertHE, DipHE, HNC, HND or a number of modules of an undergraduate degree course at another university, you may be able to enter directly into the second or third year of one of our undergraduate degree courses as a transfer student.

Postgraduate

For most postgraduate courses, you must have completed a good Bachelor degree from a recognised institution equivalent to a British second-class honours degree, preferably with a second class (2.8+ GPA).

You must also meet our standard English Language Requirements. If you don't meet these or one of our other accepted tests, we offer a Pre-sessional English course.

We understand that knowing how you’ll fund your studies as an international student is something you’ll want to tick off your list as soon as possible. We’ve got plenty of support on budgeting to help you get the most out of your money and your university experience.
