Undergraduate Entry Requirements
Applicants from Peru will normally require a Foundation course for entry onto undergraduate programmes at the university. These offer the opportunity for guaranteed progression onto Birkbeck’s Bachelor programmes.
Applicants who have completed one year at a Peruvian university (Titulo de Licenciado with at least 13/20) may be considered for direct entry.
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
To be considered for entry onto a Master’s degree at Birkbeck, a student from Peru must have completed a Licenciado, with at least 13/20, to be considered as UK 2:1 equivalent. The Grado de Bachiller is equivalent to an ordinary degree, so grades of 15+/20 are required.
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 2- or 3-term progression onto a wide range of Master’s degrees at Birkbeck.
Research degrees Entry Requirements
The usual entrance requirement for a research degree is a Master’s degree from a recognised university; schools may accept students with high grades in the undergraduate degree.
Applicants are strongly urged to contact potential supervisors within the department before submitting a research application.
