If you have not previously studied in the UK, you can use the table below as a guide to the equivalent international qualifications for our master's degrees. As transcripts can vary between universities in certain countries, applicants should read the information on this page as an approximation only and bear in mind that it does not represent the entry requirements of any individual programme, but serves as an indicator of how international qualifications equate to the UK system.
Applicants holding overseas primary medical qualifications should consult the UK General Medical Council’s criteria for acceptable overseas qualifications.
Please also remember to check the relevant programme page for any programme-specific entry requirements.
