ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

ENTRY TO THE PROGRAMME

At MIE Pathways, Normally, students entering the standard IFY (two-semester, full-time study programme) are expected to have successfully completed 12 years of school education to a defined level and have an English language level of at least IELTS 5.0 or equivalent. Acceptable alternative English language qualifications are also given on the entry requirements page on the NCUK website. In general students entering an accelerated version of the programme (where it is delivered over fewer than 30 weeks), or those wishing to progress to highly competitive courses such as Medicine, should have entry qualifications well in excess of the stated minimums. NCUK will agree entry requirements with each Study Centre for alternative delivery durations. Where a Study Centre is running an Extended IFY programme, students may enter with an English language level of IELTS 4.0 or 4.5 depending on the timetable offered. It is important that students meet the standard academic entry requirements for the programme if entering an Extended IFY. The Study Centre is responsible for assessing and verifying entry qualifications. Records of the qualifications of all students admitted must be retained in individual student files, which are subject to audit as part of NCUK’s quality assurance processes. (Refer to the NCUK Academic Handbook, Study Centre Management: Student Systems). Study Centres will also submit these documents electronically as part of the registration process with NCUK.
