Requirements

The programme is aimed at rising juniors and seniors with a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2 or equivalent at the time of application, though many successful applicants have much higher GPAs. At the very least, applicants will have spent one year on a degree course before the start of the programme. Applications from students studying at universities in countries which do not use the GPA system will be assessed on a case-by-case basis, but they will nevertheless be expected to be in the top quarter of their year group in terms of academic ability.

English language

A high level of fluency in English is also a prerequisite. Applicants who have studied and been assessed in English at university level, excluding English Language classes, meet the University's English language requirements and need not provide any further qualifications. Applicants who are not native English speakers and who are not studying at an English-speaking university will need to provide one of the following qualifications:

• GCSE in English Language/IGCSE English Language (as a first language): at grade C or above
• IELTS: normally a minimum overall grade of 7.0, usually with 7.0 in each element
• For EU students, a high grade in English taken as part of a leaving examination (eg the European Baccalaureate, the French Baccalaureate, Abitur, etc) may be acceptable
• Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English: at grade A
• Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English: at grade A or B
• TOEFL Paper Based Test: 627
• TOEFL Computer Based Test: 263
• TOEFL Internet Based Test: 107 (including a minimum of 25/30 in each component)
