  Undergraduate entry requirements

Our entry criteria for undergraduate programmes vary from degree to degree and range between BBC-AAA (280–360 UCAS points) for A Level and 26-36 points for IB. Most degrees have subject pre-requisites which can be found on the departmental pages of the website or in the undergraduate prospectus. Queen Mary does not consider native language qualifications when processing an application from an A Level student.

QMUL will consider all applications from students studying foundation programmes on an individual basis. We do have individual progression agreements in place with a number of foundation course providers, but no criteria that covers all institutions that offer international foundation programmes.

If you are studying for a BTEC national diploma or another qualification you are advised to contact the Admissions office before applying to discuss your options.

All foundation students need to support their applications with an English Language qualification. We accept IELTS, TOEFL.

If you are currently studying at an English Language school in the UK you would need to provide evidence of academic qualifications obtained in your home country. These qualifications must be equivalent to A Level otherwise you may be asked to study a foundation programme before starting your undergraduate degree.

Prospective undergraduates should apply through UCAS, for more advice go to www.qmul.ac.uk/international/howtoapply
