Overseas Qualifications: UK Equivalent Scores
or your department to discuss your application. Satisfying the grade requirement of your course is only one aspect of the application and does not guarantee admission.For most countries we are only publishing the grade which approximately equates to where a 2.2 (Lower Second) ends and a 2.1 (Upper Second) begins. Applicants should read the published grade as an approximation only and remember that it does not represent the entry requirement of any individual course, it is simply an indicator of how overseas entry requirements equate to the UK system
If you are in any doubt please contact the International Office
or your department to discuss your application in detail.
