Greenwich Education Entry Requirements
Applicants from a UK educational background:
Applicants would normally apply with the equivalent of 64 UCAS points (or above), plus GCSE English and maths grade C (or above).
This might include:
- Applications from those with an A‐level background if the applicant has two D grades and one E grade (or above) in relevant subjects
- Applications from those with 160 UCAS points including points from at least two AS-Levels in relevant subjects
- Applications from those with an AS-level background if the applicant has studied three/four AS subjects and achieved at least three C grades (or above) in relevant subjects
- Applications from those with an International Baccalaureate (Certificate or Diploma) background if the applicant has at least 20 points arising from at least three relevant subjects
- Other qualifications, which will be considered on application.

Applicants from a non‐UK educational background:
International applicants will need to show qualifications equivalent to those required for UK student entry requirements. Further to this, applicants should have:
- Successfully completed 11 or 12 years of full time education
- The ability to demonstrate competence in mathematics (usually equivalent to GCSE grade C)
- The ability to demonstrate English language capability to an equivalent of IELTS 5.5 or above, with no skill below 5.5.
A desire to study in the UK university system is expected, but some applicants may need a year to adapt to the UK higher education system.
Applicants who have no IELTS skill less than 5.5, but do not meet IELTS 6.0 overall will take the following two additional courses which are designed to support them:
English for Academic Purposes 1 15 credits
English for Academic Purposes 2 15 credits
These 30 credits are in place of credits from other courses. Such students therefore study a total of 120 credits. Where students with IELTS 6.0 overall choose to take these courses, the 30 credits will be additional to other credits. Such students therefore study a total of 150 credits.
These courses are run by the Department of Literature, Language and Theatre in the Faculty of Architecture, Computing and Humanities at the Avery Hill Campus.
For more information, contact international@gre.ac.uk or +44 (0)20 8331 8136.
In addition:
- Applicants would normally be a minimum of 17 years of age, but entry at younger age is a
possibility for the highest quality applicants - Applicants who have significant work experience relevant to their preferred study path, but who do not have the minimum expected formal entry qualifications, are welcome to apply by citing their relevant work experience to demonstrate their potential capability. Applicants following this method may be asked to complete additional application processes
- We welcome applications from mature students.
