Information for students from Paraguay

If you have any questions about entry requirements and the suitability of your qualifications, please contact your regional team.

Undergraduate - Year

You will need to have completed one of the following:

• High School Diploma (Bachillerato) and International Baccalaureate Diploma
• Bachillerato and a recognised one-year foundation course
• One year of university studies at a recognised Paraguayan institution
• American High School diploma with SATs and Advanced Placement exams
• Professional Diploma from a technical school (two years post-secondary in a specialised field of study)

Students with just the Bachillerato or Bachillerato Especializado can be considered for the one-year International Foundation Programme. Students who take the International Foundation Year at Middlesex University will automatically progress onto a Middlesex degree course upon successful completion of the course.

You may be considered for entry to undergraduate degree course if you have completed a period of study at university. Please contact the Americas and Caribbean Regional Team for more details.

Postgraduate

For most postgraduate courses, you must have completed a licenciado/bachelor degree from a recognised university equivalent to a UK second-class honours degree (generally at least 75% or higher).

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.
