Academic Requirements
Applicants from universities in the USA and Canada should have a GPA of 3.0 or above. Special circumstances may be taken into consideration if your GPA is slightly below this. Applicants from other countries should have good pass grades equivalent to ECTS level ‘B’ or top 35% for courses taken, particularly in degree subjects.
Applicants should note that all students, at the time of their admission to the University, are required to be sufficiently fluent in the English Language to be able to derive maximum benefit from course modules taught in that language. You can see the English Language Requirements.
What happens next?
An email will be sent to successful applicants with further information, including a guide to applying for accommodation and registering for modules (courses). We'll also send you our Study Abroad Student Handbook, which includes all the information you need to know.
