Entry requirements

This information is provided as a guidance only. Some courses may have specific entry requirements that are listed on the relevant course page.

We advise you to check for any additional subject/course specific requirements before submitting your application.

If you have these qualifications, that doesn’t mean you are guaranteed to get the place you want. We look at each application individually.

  • Visa requirements

    You will need a visa to study in the UK unless you:

    • are a British citizen
    • are a citizen of a European Economic Area (EEA) member state or Switzerland
    • have a visa to stay in the UK for another purpose that allows you to study. This might be because you are the husband, wife, partner or child of someone in the UK and have a dependent visa.

    Applying for a visa can be confusing. To help, we explain the visa process in plain English.
