The University accepts a wide range of international qualifications. As competition for places is strong good grades are always required and an early application is recommended.
Undergraduate programmes
Our typical offer for GCE A-levels is AAA-ABB excluding General Studies or 36-32 points in the International Baccalaureate Diploma including bonus points. Each programme will have slightly different requirements, both in terms of overall points and certain subjects, so please check the relevant subject in the Undergraduate prospectus.
Postgraduate programmes
Typically we require applicants for taught masters programmes (MA, MSc, MRes, MBA, MPA, LLM) to hold a bachelors degree (usually in a relevant subject) with a grade equivalent to a UK upper second class honours. Our prospectus indicates if there are any additional or other programme requirements. In some instances it may be possible to complete a Graduate Diploma programme as an entry route to a masters degree in Business, Finance, Law or Public Administration if your grades or local qualifications do not meet our normal entry requirements. For more information about the INTO University of Exeter Graduate Diploma programme please visit our INTO webpage.
Applicants for postgraduate research programmes (MPhil, PhD, EdD) will, in addition, be required to demonstrate practical knowledge of appropriate research methodologies. As a result many successful research applicants have completed a Masters degree with a thesis or dissertation component.
All students must also meet our linguistic requirements before they can receive an unconditional offer, please see our English language requirements page for further details.
All applications for postgraduate degrees should be made via our online application form. Our online system allows you to upload your supporting documents and save and return to complete your application in more than one sitting. You can apply up to 12 months before your preferred start date. Please note that our taught masters programmes have a single intake in October each year. Research students may be able to start at other times with their supervisor's agreement.
