Qualifications for Entrance - University of London International ...

Qualifications for Entrance 

The following list was published in May 2013. It is reviewed and updated annually and therefore is 

subject to amendment in future years. You are asked to note that applications will be considered on 

the basis of the list that is in effect at the time the application is received in the Admissions Office. 

This section lists some of the qualifications that have been recognised by the University of London 

International Programmes as satisfying either the General Entrance Requirements or part of the 

General Entrance Requirements or the entrance requirements for one particular programme. 

Qualifications that satisfy the General Entrance Requirements do not necessarily satisfy the specific 

programme requirements (where applicable). The specific programme requirements are considered 

separately and may not appear in this list. 

Overlapping rule: please note it is not possible to count the same subject more than once for 

admission purposes. For example if an applicant has 3 GCSE/GCE O levels and 2 further GCE A levels 

where Mathematics is passed within both then the University can only count Mathematics once for 

admission purposes. If you require further information then please contact the University: contact us 

Acceptable: any reference made to an acceptable institution within this document means acceptable 

to the University of London. If you require further information then please contact the University: 

contact us 

Please note: this list is given for guidance purposes only and the International Programmes reserves 

the right to amend it at any time. 

The qualifications are listed by country and in accordance with the following key: 

O is equivalent to GCSE/GCE O level 

A (or AS) is equivalent to GCE A/AS level 

S satisfies the specific programme requirement for the programme named or satisfies specific 

programme and General Entrance Requirement for the programme named 

G satisfies the general entrance requirements as a whole (please note that the programme specific 

requirements, where applicable, also have to be met e.g. Mathematics)
