Our entry requirements

You’ll be asked to provide your latest transcript, a letter of recommendation and a copy of your passport. You may also be asked to provide evidence of your English language proficiency (if English is not your first language).

Academic requirements

If you’re applying from a university in the USA or Canada you’ll need a GPA of 3.0 or above. Special circumstances may be taken into consideration if your GPA is slightly below this.

If you’re applying from elsewhere, you should have good pass grades equivalent to ECTS level ‘B’ or top 35% for courses taken.

English language proficiency

When you apply, you should be sufficiently fluent in English to get maximum benefit from our course modules. If English is not your first language, you’ll need to have passed one of these recognised tests and examinations:

Examination	Minimum pass level
IELTS	6.0 (with 5.5 minimum in each skill)
Cambridge C1 Advanced (CAE)	169 with minimum of 162 in each skill
Cambridge C2 Proficiency (CPE)	180 with minimum 162 in each skill
Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE)	54 with 51 in each component
IBT TOEFL	80 with no subtest less than 17

If you’re an exchange student, there may be an inter-university agreement for the recognition of your English Language ability. This may mean that admission is possible without having to sit or hold one of the above tests. Instead we would require an academic reference that would attest to your ability to attend classes and complete assignments in English. Check with your exchange co-ordinator to see if this applies to you.
