Standard & Standard Plus
 


To enter the Standard program, you need strong academic grades. To enter the Standard Plus program you should have at least average grades. Depending on your preferred undergraduate program, a minimum grade in mathematics may also apply. Entry from other than the final year of school requires superior grades and may be eligible for the Standard Plus program only.

• Consideration is given to the actual subjects studied
• Forecast results are accepted where appropriate
• Provisional offers of an undergraduate place are given to international students enrolled in the recommended stream of study
• It should be noted that, in order to be granted provisional offers of places in highly competitive undergraduate programs such as Medicine and Law, you must have very high grades.

Places are limited in all Foundation programs and entry is competitive. You therefore, need to apply early to ensure being offered a place in the next available program.
