Undergraduate entry requirements for students from Egypt
If you have already completed your A levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma, you will be eligible for direct entry if you meet your chosen programme's entry requirements.
If you hold the Thaneweya A'aama, you will normally be expected to take a foundation programme, such as one of our International Study Centre International Foundation courses at Exeter’s Streatham Campus, to be eligible for entry onto one of our undergraduate courses. As a general rule, a minimum score of 75% applies, with at least 75% in maths and science if you are applying for Engineering or science-based subjects. For more competitive streams, including in our Business School, a higher mark would be desirable.

Mohamed, PhD in Political Economy and Sociology
"There is a great sense of multiculturalism and diversity in the city in general and within the University. The amount of lifetime friendships, relations and memories that I've accumulated and experienced during my time in Exeter is really precious and valuable.
I stayed in research/academia because this is the field that I was and still am passionate about; my postgraduate studies at Exeter helped me a great deal in solidifying this conviction."
