Entry requirements will vary depending on your level of study and the course you have chosen.

If English is not your first language, you will also have to prove that your English is of a satisfactory level to study in the UK. You can find further information on our English Language Requirements page.

You should check the individual course pages for the programmes you are interested in to get an overview of what is required.

If you are not sure what your qualifications equate to, or whether you have the necessary qualifications to apply for a course at BU, please complete our International Admissions Enquiry Form and a member of the team will be in touch. 

Please note we do not accept Higher National Diploma (HND) qualifications for entry on our postgraduate courses. We recommend HND holders to consider our Top up degrees which allow you to complete the final year of undergraduate study to give you a Bachelor’s level qualification.
