Entry requirements
Overview
We seek to recruit the best students from around the world. We look for applications from students whose subjects demonstrate a range of conceptual, numerical, analytical and discursive abilities at the highest level.
A levels
Typical offer: AAA
In exceptional circumstances we may make a slightly lower offer.
Essentials
- General Studies is excluded and Critical Thinking will not normally form part of an offer
- grade B in GCSE Maths and English required
- languages which are intended for non-native speakers are not normally acceptable when taken by native speakers of that language
- preference will be shown to applicants with a strong GCSE profile which should include a high proportion of A or A* grades.
International Baccalaureate
Typical Offer: 38 points.
No subject below 5 points, including English and Mathematics. Subjects and grades may be specified in the offer.
Non-academic criteria
While academic achievement is an important part of considering your application, we place a strong emphasis on non-academic attributes. Not only do we look for high achievers academically, but also those who demonstrate a wide range of outside interests and a well developed, balanced personality.
We have a strong emphasis on the balance between theory and practice - practical, industrial, entrepreneurial or voluntary work will support your application. Your personal statement and the referee's report will be considered when we evaluate your application and should therefore emphasise these issues.
English language
If English is not your first language, you will require an IELTS Academic qualification or a recognised equivalent.
IELTS: We require a minimum of 7.0 overall in the IELTS-Academic test with no less than 7.0 in any subject.
This programme's first intake will be in 2014.
