A word from our students

Important information for international students

If you have any questions about entry requirements and the suitability of your qualifications, please contact your regional team.

Undergraduate - Year 1

For most undergraduate courses, you must have completed either:

  • First year of Lisans Diplomasi (Bachelor degree), with a minimum CGPA of 2
  • Grade 12 matriculation (Devlet Lise Diplomasi) with a minimum score 70% and a recognised one-year foundation course
  • International Baccalaureate Diploma

If you have only completed Devlet Lise Diplomasi you may be considered for our one-year International Foundation Programme. Students who successfully complete the one-year International Foundation at Middlesex will automatically progress onto a Middlesex degree.

As part of the application process you will need to provide a letter of reference from an academic source and a personal statement.

Undergraduate - Year 2 & 3

If you have successfully passed at least one year's higher studies in a relevant subject area you may able to enter directly onto the second or third year of one of our undergraduate degrees as a transfer student. 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

For most postgraduate courses, you must have completed a good bachelor's degree, equivalent to a British second class honours degree. Our MBA courses require at least two years of post-graduation work experience at management level, and in some cases a GMAT score of over 550 will also be required.

You will need to provide two letters of reference from academic sources and a personal statement.

You must also meet our standard English Language Requirements.  If you don't meet these or one of our other accepted tests, we offer a Pre-sessional English course.

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.
