Admission
General Entry Requirements
Bucks New University welcomes applications from students studying a wide range of qualifications from around the world. Whilst you can find specific details of our international qualification requirements under the ‘Your Country’ page, our typical tariff for undergraduate entry is 80-96 UCAS points. Entry to taught postgraduate programmes normally requires a first degree, but relevant experience, in some cases, can substitute for this requirement.
Applicants who do not meet the minimum requirements for our three year programmes, or those who do not feel fully prepared for first year entry, can be considered for the four year programme including a foundation year. Applicants to these will have typically achieved 32 UCAS tariff points. International students with IELTS 6.0 (5.5) or below will have to undertake an enhanced curriculum in addition to the advertised programme.
Suitability for entry to our programmes can be demonstrated in a number of ways and is not limited to academic qualifications alone and applicants who do not meet our published entry requirements are encouraged to contact admissions for advice at admissions@bucks.ac.uk.
Specific professional programmes (such as Nursing, Social Work and Operating Department Practice) frequently require a higher tariff for entry that can be found on the relevant course page. Applicants may also be required to undertake an additional written assessment to establish that an appropriate level of ability in English language and mathematics has been achieved.
English Language Requirements
-
To study at Bucks New University applicants must demonstrate they have sufficient English language ability to be able to succeed prior to their enrolment. This is typically evidenced through completion of a GCSE, level 2 and or by an equivalent programme from a majority English speaking country.
Any student who has studied in a non-majority English speaking country will typically be asked to complete an additional qualification testing English language ability (speaking, listening, reading & writing). Bucks New University accepts the following English language tests in addition to GCSE:
