Academic

We have a test-flexible admissions policy for US students. We invite interested students to submit their application directly or through UCAS for their chosen course, along with their current or completed high school diploma, which we will consider with a minimum 3.0 GPA. While we do not require any standardised testing, if submitting test scores, we ask for any of the following: SAT: 1200 (600 in each component)/ACT: 27 plus 2 AP exams with scores of 4+; or 3 AP exams with scores of 4+; Where candidates do not have access to or have not taken standardised testing, we will consider strong academic performance demonstrated within the high school diploma, for example AP or Honors classes. Entry to some degree programmes may require the completion of AP classes or exams, or Honors classes with grades A/B in specific subjects eg Calculus and Physics for Engineering. Please contact the academic department or International Office if you are not sure. We do not superscore the SAT or consider the optional essay.
