  • Undergraduate Entry Requirements

    • Applicants who have completed the Cambridge Overseas Higher School Certificate (OHSC) can be considered for direct admission; we will consider the best three OHSC principal subjects (subsidiary subjects such as French and General Paper are not considered sufficient). Grades at OHSC will be considered entirely equivalent to British GCE A-levels.

You may also gain entry to Year 1 of our undergraduate degree programmes if you have successfully completed one or two years of an undergraduate degree with good grades (2.8-3.0 GPA, depending on the department).
    • Applicants who do not meet these criteria can be considered for a four-year course with foundation programme in their field of interest. Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, students will automatically progress on to our three-year degree.
