What are the basic admission requirements for me as an Indian student to study at universities in London?
Universities in London ask for English proficiency scores, transcripts, an SOP, LORs, a valid passport and proof of funds. Undergraduate applicants need a 10+2 certificate with minimum marks; postgraduate applicants need a recognised degree and a CV. GRE or GMAT is needed if required.
Admission requirements differ slightly between undergraduate and postgraduate courses, and English language proficiency is highly essential. Accepted English tests vary by university and commonly include IELTS, PTE, CAE, CPE and TOEFL.

| Undergraduate | Postgraduate |
|---|---|
| 10+2 certificate from a recognised board with the minimum required marks | Undergraduate degree from a recognised university |

Points to Check

My Advice
Shortlist courses first and read each one's own entry requirements, because marks and test scores differ. Arrange bank statements and recommendation letters well before your deadline.
