Important information for international students

If you have any questions about entry requirements and the suitability of your qualifications, please contact your regional team. As part of the current Student route (formerly tier 4) visa regime, prospective students face robust questions about their destination, limits on their ability to work and tighter rules on their English-language capability. Due to these constraints, we are currently not accepting applicants from India to our Pre-Sessional and International Foundation courses until further notice.

Undergraduate - Year 1

Minimum 50% or above from a Local Board Examination or its equivalent.

Undergraduate - Year 2 and 3

Successfully passed at least one year's higher studies in a relevant subject area. We require 60 ECTS for entry to year two, and 120 ECTS for entry to year three. Acceptance is based on a curriculum match between your prior study and the syllabus at Middlesex.

You will need to provide a letter of reference from an academic source and a personal statement.

Postgraduate

A good first degree from a recognised university or equivalent with minimum 50% or above.

For our MBA courses, we require a second-class honours degree or above, or an overseas equivalent qualification. Candidates should also have a minimum of two years' managerial or professional experience in a full-time position following graduation.

Candidates without an honours degree need to demonstrate a significantly successful managerial experience and may be required to complete a GMAT test with a minimum score of 550. Students must satisfy our standard English language requirements.

We understand that knowing how you’ll fund your studies as an international student is something you’ll want to tick off your list as soon as possible. We’ve got plenty of support on budgeting to help you get the most out of your money and your university experience.
