Careers

It is important to consider your career options when deciding where to study. We offer support and careers guidance to home and international students as well as assistance in finding part-time work:

Entry requirements

These requirements will vary from subject to subject. You also need to look at course entry requirements in our undergraduate and postgraduate prospectuses.

Undergraduate Degrees

A Levels; International Baccalaureate (IB); Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM)

We welcome applications from students taking A Level examinations and the International Baccalaureate (IB) for direct entry into our undergraduate programmes. We are also happy to consider students with the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) and consider the grades in STPM to equate directly with those of UK A-levels. For Maths and Science subjects, we may be able to consider the grade below as equivalent to our UK A level requirements.

Postgraduate Taught Degrees

Bachelors degree

Holders of a Bachelors degree will be considered for entry to a Masters degree. We normally look for the equivalent of a first or second class degree. If you have studied recently for your Bachelors degree in a university where the medium of instruction is English, you will not normally be required to meet additional conditions for English Language, such as an IELTS test.

Postgraduate Research Degrees

Masters level qualification from a prestigious university

In many cases, we require a Masters level qualification from a prestigious university for PhD entry. We expect evidence of some research experience (for example through a Masters degree project). Before applying to us, it is worth identifying a potential supervisor in the department to ensure that we have the expertise and resource you need.
 

English language requirements

To study on the International Foundation Year you will need a minimum IELTS score of 5.5. 

The minimum English Language requirement for our undergraduate courses is IELTs 6.0 - 7.0 or an equivalent qualification.

We will also consider those students taking the SPM. A compulsory element is a Cambridge International O level (previously called 1119). Although not on the certificate it will be reported on the results slip and a 6C grade or above will be asked for.

All postgraduate taught applicants must meet our English requirements (IELTS 6.5-7.0) You can do this by taking IELTS or TOEFL exams or by attending a pre-sessional programme in our English Language Centre.

If you have studied recently for your bachelor’s degree in a university where the medium of instruction is English, you will not normally be required to meet additional conditions for English Language.
