Entry requirements

Foundation courses

Normally applicants from Taiwan are required to successfully complete a foundation programme.

Our foundation courses

We offer foundation courses for international students who are not qualified for direct entry to our undergraduate degree courses.

These courses are available at the University of Nottingham International College, just next to University Park Campus, in partnership with Kaplan International Colleges.

Find out more about the courses, entry requirements and progression options on Kaplan's website:

Applications and enquiries for these courses are handled by Kaplan and the college.

Undergraduate courses

Full-time courses across our five faculties typically last for three to four years, although some degrees such as medicine and architecture have a longer duration.

Undergraduate entry requirements

Entry requirements to our bachelors degree programmes vary depending on your chosen course. However, as a minimum requirement, you will typically need one of the following for year one entry:

  • a completed recognised foundation
  • one year of university study at a recognised Taiwanese university with a good grade average (around 72-75%)
  • a junior college degree (2,3 or 5 year) with good grades (80%+) from a recognised Taiwanese junior college (subject to meeting the required module background)
  • A levels or the IB – students taking these qualifications should refer to the online  undergraduate prospectus for entry requirements
  • APs or SATIIs – students taking these qualifications should refer to entry requirements for the USA
  • Students taking an Australian curriculum should refer to entry requirements for Australia

For year two entry, each application will be assessed based on the content of the courses studied in Taiwan and how closes they match with the programme being applied for at Nottingham. The following can be used to meet minimum criteria:

  • two or more years of study at a recognised university with grades of 72-75% (subject to meeting the required module background)
  • a 5 year junior college degree with exceptional grades (85%+) from a recognised Taiwanese junior college may be considered for year 2 (subject to meeting the required module background)

Masters courses

We offer a wide range of postgraduate masters degree programmes across our five faculties. Full-time masters courses typically last for one year.

Masters entry requirements

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 Prospectus to see whether your chosen course requires the equivalent of an Upper Second Class (2:1) or Lower Second Class (2:2) degree.

Our entry requirements for degrees from Taiwan universities vary depending on the university where you have studied and the course you are applying for at Nottingham.
