Entry requirements

In general, the minimum requirement for entry to an undergraduate degree courses is the GCE A-Level (General Certificate of Education Advanced level), which is the equivalent of the Macedonian secondary school diploma and a test of English language proficiency - preferably the IELTS test.

The grades needed will depend on the subject and institution you have chosen. You should get details of the course requirements from the institution’s current prospectus or direct from the faculty or the UCAS website.

If your qualifications do not match the entry requirements to enter UK Higher Education, you can take a foundation or access course. Refer to the Education UK website.
