Entry requirements
Undergraduate
The University of Glasgow will consider students who have gained the Título de Bachillerato. This qualification is considered comparable to GCE Advanced Subsidiary (AS) level and the Scottish Higher Standard. Individual subjects may be considered comparable to GCSE standard grades A*-C, with the exception of English language. Individual required marks will depend on the intended subject of study.
International Baccalaureate
Applications with 30-34 points will be considered for direct admission to most schools, although a minimum of 30 points will be considered for admissions to Engineering. Please note there will be certain exceptions.
Postgraduate Taught
We will consider applications to a Masters degree from graduates holding a Licenciado. This qualification is considered comparable to the British Bachelor degree when awarded after four or more years of study. If a minimum pass mark of 7.5 or above is achieved, this may be considered for admission to a taught Master's degree course. Alternatively, applicants with a GPA of 3.0 or above may be considered for postgraduate study.
Partnerships with Argentinian Institutions
University of Glasgow has a strong link and a very popular student exchange programme with Universidad del Salvador in Buenos Aires.
