The information here provides you with a summary overview of the types of degree programme offered by UK institutions and the entrance criteria for application. Over the page, a subject matrix provides a guide to the types of subjects offered at each institution. More detailed information is available from the Universities in the UK team or your education counsellor.

Undergraduate Bachelor's degree programmes

Postgraduate Master's degree programmes

MBA programmes

Undergraduate Bachelors degree programmes

Undergraduate programmes in the UK are usually studied over three years and lead to a "Bachelors degree with Honours" qualification e.g. BA (Hons) or BSc (Hons).

Students must have completed their high school education to A Level standard or equivalent and be at least 18 years old to enter a Bachelors degree programme. In many cases, however, students who have completed high school in their own country may be required to complete a one-year Foundation course prior to entry. For further details about these courses, please refer to the brochure of our sister organization, Bellerbys College.

Entrance criteria for the Universities in the UK placement service for Bachelors

Aged 18 or over

International (non-EU) students

Proof of successful completion of A Levels or high school education plus a further year of academic study

English language level of IELTS 5.5/6.0 or equivalent

In Scotland, Bachelors programmes are usually studied over four years and, because of this, entry criteria vary and students can normally enter the institution at an earlier stage than elsewhere in the UK

Postgraduate Masters degree programmes

On the Universities in the UK programme, the Postgraduate programmes offered are Masters degrees (e.g.MA or MSc) and in the UK these are normally studied over a period of just one year.

To enter a Masters programme students must have a good first (e.g. Bachelors or similar) degree and be aged at least 21 years old. Masters programmes fall into two categories: Research or Taught. Research programmes allow students to pursue their own particular areas of interest under the guidance and supervision of a tutor whereas Taught programmes consist of seminars and lectures together with a dissertation. As with Bachelors programmes there is a huge range of programme and subject options.

International (non-EU) students

Proof of successful completion of first university degree (Bachelor level)

English language level of IELTS 6.5 or equivalent

MBA programmes

MBA (Master of Business Administration) programmes are designed to provide a broad understanding of several business subjects at Masters level and are normally studied over a period of one year.

Students do not need to have studied business previously though they do need to have a good first degree (e.g. Bachelors or similar). MBA students will also need to have a substantial amount of work experience (normally two to three years in a management position) and because of this, the average age of students on MBA programmes is considerably higher than for those on other Masters programmes.

English language level of IELTS 6.0/6.5 or equivalent

You will therefore feel more confident about 0starting a Business Masters degree which will be highly intensive.

The UK has long enjoyed an excellent reputation as a study destination for international students. The outstanding quality and academic rigour of UK Higher Education is recognized worldwide. A country with a rich history and exciting cultural environment, the UK has produced some of the leading business people, scientists, artists and writers of our time. Academic institutions offer an exceptionally wide range of programmes and specialist subject choices in the key areas of Business; Science, Engineering and Technology; and the Arts.

Business

The UK is one of the world's leading economies. London is a major financial centre for global trade and the location for the head offices of many multi-national corporations. Benefiting from this business environment, UK business schools are among the best in the world, with programmes to ensure graduates are at the cutting-edge of business strategy.

From general programmes at Bachelors level to specialized Masters, MBAs and beyond, international students graduating with a UK business qualification have a lasting advantage in their career prospects.

Science, Engineering and Technology

From Newton's pioneering exploration of the nature of gravity and Darwin's work on evolution through to Professor Francis Crick, the scientist who helped unravel the mysteries of DNA, the UK has long been at the forefront of scientific achievement. With just 1% of the world's population, the UK produces 8% of the world's scientific papers and has won 90 Nobel Prizes for science.

In engineering and technology too, the UK has excelled in the practical application of science. The country is renowned for great engineering and technological achievements of the past, such as Robert Stephenson's railways and Sir Frank Whittle's jet engines. Today, scientists and engineers in the UK such as Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, are still at the forefront of invention and innovation.

British universities are an integral part of the UK's success in this area, and the institutions we work with offer a wide range of highly regarded science and engineering disciplines.

Many pre-eminent figures in the world of arts and social sciences hail from the UK.With a cultural heritage that includes Shakespeare, Turner and Bacon, modern writers, artists and thinkers have a rich tradition on which to build.

From history and philosophy to modern art, media studies and languages, UK universities provide the kind of learning environment in which students can really excel in their chosen field.

Quality education

The majority of undergraduate (Bachelor) degrees take three years to complete and postgraduate (Masters) degrees, one year. Most UK institutions are State-funded and regularly undergo government assessment to monitor the quality of teaching and the standard of the curriculum. This ensures students receive the best possible quality education throughout their studies in the UK.
