Entry requirements

English language entry requirements

If English is not your first language, you will need to provide evidence that you can read, write, speak and understand English to a satisfactory level.

English language requirements, for the majority of our Bachelors and taught Masters courses, are normally a minimum of:

Successful completion of one of BU’s Preparatory English Programmes
IELTS (Academic) 6.0, or
TOEFL (internet based) 80.

For some courses where communication is especially important the grades required may be higher and a minimum score in individual components may be requested.

Academic entry requirements

If you followed the system of education in Vietnam then this is our guideline for the normal entry requirements. Your application will be studied by an admissions tutor so it is important that you take the time to include information about your academic background and you as a person!

International Foundation Certificate

If you have completed 12 years of schooling in your own country and have achieved a minimum of IELTS (Academic) 5.0*, you now have the option of undertaking a one year BU International Foundation Certificate before entering a Bachelors (undergraduate) course.

* For some courses the IELTS requirement will be higher.
