Entry requirements and application procedures for international students are generally the same as for UK students.
Applications to study at Staffordshire University should be made through UCAS - the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. If you are from a partner institution of Staffordshire University, tutors at your institution will be able to advise you on application procedures.
Choosing the right course and institution for you can be difficult if you are not familiar with the British education system or entry requirements. We advise you to contact your local British Council Office which will give you impartial advice about studying in the UK.
If you would like to check whether your qualifications meet our entry requirements and/or provide you with advanced standing for a particular course, you may send your CV or copies of your qualifications to the Admissions Office for advice before making a formal application.
Alternatively you can also find out this information from UK NARIC (National Academic Recognition Information Centre)
As English is used in learning, teaching and assessment at the University, you will not gain the full benefit from your award unless you have the appropriate standard of English.
For this reason, in our entry criteria for international students we require an English language qualification, eg GCSE/O level grade C or above, IELTS average of 6.0, TOEFL score of 550 (213 computer-based).
If you need additional support for your English language skills we offer a range of courses through our English Language Centre to help you.
