Information for students from Ghana

For year 12 students taking the Senior School Certificate (SSC) through the WAEC (West African Examinations Council) we usually look for a minimum of three grade Bs and two Cs. The Bs should also be in relevant subjects.

For the Engineering foundation programme, the relevant subjects are maths and physics. For the Science foundation programme the relevant subjects are maths and a science subject (biology or chemistry). Maths is required for Social Sciences and Business.

For most other foundation programmes, the relevant subjects are English and maths. Other subjects with a strong link to the desired progression, e.g business and law, may also be taken into consideration.

• Business, Law and Social Sciences, taught at University of Nottingham International College
• Engineering and Physical Sciences, taught in our Faculty of Engineering
• Science, taught at University of Nottingham International College. Either biology or chemistry depending on the progression route

Please contact University of Nottingham International College, which is located opposite our University Park Campus, with any queries about entry requirements and how to apply.

Applicants should hold a bachelors degree of a good standard from a recognised university, usually in a relevant subject area. Check course details in our postgraduate course pages to see whether your chosen course requires the equivalent of an Upper Second Class (2:1) or Lower Second Class (2:2) degree.

In general, we consider the Ghanaian degree classification of second upper or second lower to meet the aforementioned 2.1 and 2.2 requirements.  Individual course requirements vary and a full transcript will always be reviewed.

Degrees from recognised universities in Ghana can be accepted as meeting our English language requirements.
