Academic Requirement:
Buckinghamshire New University welcomes applications from students studying a wide range of qualifications from around the world. Whilst you can find specific details of BNU's international qualification requirements under the ‘Your Country’ page. You can also check the individual course page to get more clarification about the entry requirements of your desired course. Undergraduate entry will require a UCAS Tariff score between 88-128 points and is listed on each course page.
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 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 between 32-56 UCAS tariff points. Applicants are required to have a minimum of IELTS 5.5 in all areas for courses with a foundation year.
Some programmes (such as Nursing, Midwifery, Social Work and Operating Department Practice) frequently require a higher tariff for entry which 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 BNU 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). BNU accepts the following English language tests in addition to GCSE:
