International qualifications 2013 (pdf) - CUKAS

Preface
This guide is primarily intended as a working document for
selectors and staff involved in admissions and associated
activities in higher education institutions (HEIs). The publication
contains information relating to a wide range of international
qualifications offered for undergraduate admission in the UK. It
will also be of interest and relevance to guidance staff in schools,
the further education (FE) sector and careers services that advise
overseas applicants on entry to higher education (HE).
Its purpose is to provide up-to-date information which is easy to
access and use, and which will promote the effectiveness and
quality of the admissions process. The publication therefore
contains details of a range of qualifications available from many
countries throughout the world. All entries have been submitted
to the appropriate authority of the country concerned to allow an
opportunity for comment and update.
UCAS is particularly grateful for the care and attention taken by
correspondents in the updating and constructive suggestions they
have given for this publication. Extensive reference has been
made to additional sources and publications, including UK and
overseas education and examination authorities (see Appendix G).
The aim of the publication is to provide objective information, on
the basis of which HEIs can make their own decisions about the
admission of international students. The inclusion of qualifications
does not imply recognition or endorsement on the part of UCAS
or HEIs for the purpose of entry to HE programmes.
UCAS would be pleased to receive comments and suggestions
about the format and content of this publication for the benefit of
future editions.
