Undergraduate entry requirements
Applicants from Uzbekistan holding the O'rta Ma'lumot To'g'risida Shahodatnoma (Certificate of Completed Secondary Education) will need to complete a Foundation course for entry onto undergraduate programmes at the university. These offer the opportunity for guaranteed progression onto Birkbeck’s Bachelor programmes.
Applicants with the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma or A-levels will be considered for direct admission to our undergraduate degree programmes. IB requirements range from 28 to 30, depending on the course.
Postgraduate entry requirements
The exact requirements will depend on the programme you are applying for but Birkbeck generally requires a Diplomi (Specialist Diploma) or a Magistr Diplomi (Master’s degree) from a recognised university in Uzbekistan.
Please note that all applications are considered on an individual basis and you may be admitted to a Master's programme with a lower-level degree if you have work experience relevant to the degree applied for.
If you do not meet these criteria, you can apply for OnCampus' Master's Foundation programme, which is available for two- or three-term progression onto a wide range of Master’s degrees at Birkbeck.
