International students
We are very happy to welcome overseas students onto our courses. We understand that you may not be able to visit The University prior to the start of your course, so an offer will be made conditional of obtaining certain grades in technical exams, and also obtaining a suitable English qualification. More information on the English qualifications required can be found on the Centre for English Language Education website.
To find out more, including information on scholarships, see the University’s International Office web page.
Enquiries regarding qualifications can be emailed to Helen Tanner.
The Foundation Year brochure is available in the following languages:
