Information for students from Estonia

We require students to hold the Gümnaasiumi Löpitimmostus (school exam certificate) and Riigieksamid (state exams). 

Students should take a minimum of 5 examinations of which at least 3 must be state exams (others being school exams).

For the most competitive courses we normally require an overall average grade ranging from 85-90% in your school exams and an average grade of at least 5 in your state exams.

For the least competitive courses we normally require an overall average grade ranging from 60-65% in your school exams and an average grade of at least 4 in your state exams.

A typical requirement for a course with a BBB A level entry requirement is an overall average grade of 70-75% in the school exams and 4.5 in state exams.

Our Undergraduate Prospectus lists entry requirements for A levels and International Baccalaureate students for each course.

Students taking APs or SATs should refer to our entry requirements for the USA.

A masters and bachelors degree from a recognised university are usually required for PhD entry.

Exceptional students may be considered for PhD entry without a masters qualification.

See the masters section for guidance on the grades we typically require from Estonian universities. These will vary depending on the university where you have studied and the course you are applying for at Nottingham. 

You should identify possible supervisors at Nottingham before applying and prepare a research proposal to submit with your application.
