Admissions
What your grades need to be.
Requirements vary by university and course. These are the general levels, and how results from our students' countries are usually read.
Postgraduate
A master's is the most common route for our students.
| Country | Usual requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | A bachelor's degree, usually a 2:1 or a 2:2 depending on the university | Indian and Pakistani degrees are commonly read as 55 to 60 percent for a 2:2 and 60 to 65 percent for a 2:1, but each university sets its own scale. |
| France | A recognised bachelor's degree | Grandes écoles may ask for a GMAT or GRE score on business and finance programmes. |
| Germany | A bachelor's degree in a closely related subject | German universities check subject match strictly. A business master's usually needs a business or economics bachelor's. |
Undergraduate
| Country | Usual requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | Good school-leaving results, or a foundation year | Indian Class 12, Pakistani HSSC and Bangladeshi HSC are often accepted directly by modern universities, and via a foundation year elsewhere. |
| France | School-leaving certificate recognised as equivalent to the baccalauréat | Post-bac programmes at business schools usually also set their own entrance test or interview. |
| Germany | Often a year of university study at home first, or a Studienkolleg year | This catches people out. Many school-leaving qualifications do not give direct entry to a German bachelor's. |
