Information for students from Saudi Arabia

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

If you have taken the Thanawaya (Secondary School Leaving Certificate), you must complete a foundation course for entry to our undergraduate programmes. As well as our own foundation courses, we accept foundation certificates from selected providers in the UK and Saudi Arabia.

If you have taken one or two years of relevant university study at a Saudi Arabian university, we may be able to accept this for direct entry onto a course.

This summary is provided as guidance and requirements may vary for individual courses, which often require high grades in relevant subjects.

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, although some courses would consider exceptional students for PhD entry without a masters qualification.

See the masters section for guidance on the grades we typically require from Saudi Arabian 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.
