Entry Requirements

• Some Programmes have requirements that differ from the details here - check the page for the programme you are interested in for specific information.

You should have a good university degree or equivalent. For some programmes, relevant work experience may be required, or a degree in a discipline area relevant to the programme for which you are applying - see the programme page.

• For overseas students:

  Evidence of proficiency in English is required to (one of..) the following levels:

  • IELTS 6.5, with scores of at least 6 in each section
  • TOEFL Paper 580, with scores of at least 55 in each section and 4.0 in the TWE
  • TOEFL Computer 237, with scores of at least 21 in each section and 4.0 in the writing section
  • TOEFL iBT 92, with at least 20 in each section

  Before you enroll for your course, you will be expected to take a short English test at the Institute of Applied Language Studies in Edinburgh, unless your result is the equivalent of 7.0 or above in IELTS. The Test of English at Matriculation (TEAM) is a diagnostic one which is taken in addition to any other English result you may have. Depending on the results of this, you may be recommended or required to take further tuition in specified areas. This tuition is free of charge and is taken alongside your academic studies in the Autumn or Spring terms. Details of this will be sent to you with your admission papers.

  Tests must have been taken within two years of the proposed date of admission.

  The University's Institute for Applied Language Studies provides pre-sessional courses for new students in English for Academic Purposes, and other more specialised courses during the semesters.
