Entry requirements
We welcome students to the University of Glasgow with a variety of different qualifications. Therefore we have a team of experts that will equate any of the qualifications you hold to our entry requirements. All you have to do, is let us know the type of qualification you have and the grade you hold in it.
Undergraduate
For applicants studying for the Stúdentspróf, we would consider these on a case to case basis upon application.
International Baccalaureate
A minimum of 34 points is required to be considered for an offer. Actual offers will specify subjects and grades to be attained at Higher Level.
Postgraduate
We will consider applications to Masters degrees from graduates holding a Bachelors Degree. Applicants with a GPA of 3.0 or above may be considered for postgraduate study. This equates to scores of 6.0 – 7.24 or Second Class on the Icelandic Bachelors. If you are in doubt that your qualification meets our standards, the best advice is to apply and we can either offer you a place on our courses or suggest alternatives for you.
Partnerships with Icelandic Institutions
