International entry requirements

Please select from the countries listed below to see the entry requirements.

For the degree programmes with integrated foundation year: We generally require a good high school leaving certificate with Mathematics at the level of GCSE grade 6 (or equivalent). Applicants with qualifications that are in principle acceptable for direct entry onto our BSc (Econ) undergraduate degree programmes (please see the country details below), but at a level below the published entry requirements for those degrees, will be considered on a case-by-case basis, with the expectation that applicants with these qualifications will not normally receive offers.

Do we accept transfer students?

Besides transfers from the University of London External Diploma we generally do not encourage transfers into any of our programmes, although we sometimes consider applications for direct entry into the second year (never into the third year) in exceptional circumstances and as a matter of discretion. It may depend in part upon the reason for the request and the compatibility of the two programmes. The applicant's qualifications must match the entry requirements of the programme. We would also look at achievement so far in the applicant's current degree programme and may also attach an academic condition relating to performance in assessments to be taken if we do decide to make an offer.

Transfer students are required to make their application through UCAS during the normal cycle.
