Undergraduate programmes

A Level, International Baccalaureate (IB) or Pakistani Bachelors of Arts/Science/Commerce

We welcome applications from students taking A Level examinations, the International Baccalaureate (IB) and certain other internationally recognised qualifications for direct entry into undergraduate courses. We require a minimum of three good A Levels or 32-38 points in the International Baccalaureate. Holders of the Pakistani Bachelors of Arts/Science/Commerce (Pass) may be considered for direct entry at undergraduate level. Detailed entry requirements can be found in the undergraduate prospectus.

Postgraduate taught degrees

Bachelors (Honours) degree of at least three years duration, followed by a Masters degree of one or two years duration

We will consider students who have successfully completed a bachelors (honours) degree of at least three years duration, followed by a masters degree of one or two years duration. Degrees must be from a recognised institution in Pakistan. Details of the entry requirements for each of our postgraduate taught degrees are provided in the postgraduate prospectus. Please read them carefully, as there can sometimes be additional requirements, such as the need for work experience or a very specific academic background.

Postgraduate research degrees

Masters level qualification

We will consider exceptional high graded masters degree holders for PhD study. Evidence of some research experience (for example through a masters degree project) is often expected and in addition to the standard application papers, you will need a research proposal outlining how you intend to go about your research.

Scholarships and funding

Prospective international students are eligible for a number of scholarships. Most of these are for postgraduate taught students. Departments may also offer specific scholarships for their students. Find out more about Scholarships and Bursaries.

These are some of the scholarship and funding options available to students from your country:

International Scholarship Scheme

We are offering 75 postgraduate scholarships worth £3,000. This will be offered as a discount in tuition fees. The scholarships are for one year only.

More details of the International Scholarship Scheme.

Sponsorship

A number of external funding bodies exist to support Masters level study in the UK and we strongly advise any applicant seeking support to explore potential sources of financial aid available in your own country.

There are international agencies, government departments, charitable organisations and private companies that may be able to provide financial aid for certain programmes of study, and all are worth exploring.

You can also approach the British Council in your country to find out if they have any funding available.

Research Degree Scholarships

For MPhil/PhD students we provide both full and partial research degree scholarships and these are awarded on a competitive basis. Some are designated for certain research topics and others are offered on a university-wide basis. You may indicate that you wish to be considered for a scholarship on the research degree programme application form.
