O – 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, where applicable,

programme specific requirements also have to be met, for example Mathematics. As well as English

Qualifications for Entrance

The following list was published in May 2014. 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 Geography is passed within both then the University can only count Geography 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:

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

the right to amend it at any time.
