Useful information

Entry requirements

Undergraduate (Bachelors) degrees

If you are studying A-levels or the International Baccalaureate (IB) then you can begin from the first year of a Bachelors degree. Please see individual course pages for entry requirements.

If you have already completed the first year of an undergraduate degree at a Pakistani university, you may be considered for entry to the first year of a Bachelors degree if you have studied relevant subjects.

Credit transfer into the second year of a Bachelors degree may be possible.

For more information about available degrees please see individual course pages.

Postgraduate (Master's) degrees

If you hold a Bachelors degree with honours (four-year BA, BBA) with a minimum GPA of 3.0/4 you will be considered for entry to a Master's degree.

For entry to a Master's degree in Computing or Engineering, you should have a Bachelors degree with honours (BSc, BEng) with a minimum GPA of 2.7/4.0.

PhDs and other research degrees

To apply for a PhD (or other postgraduate research qualification) you must have a Bachelors degree with honours (four-year BA, BBA) from a recognised Pakistani university with a minimum GPA of 3.0/4, usually in a related subject area, (depending on the subject that you wish to study) which is equivalent to a UK upper second class honours degree (also known as a 2:1).
