European Baccalaureate

We welcome applications from students studying for the European Baccalaureate (EB).

We require EB students to obtain the award of the diploma and you must have an English language qualification at the appropriate level.

The final decision to offer you a place will be taken with reference to the whole UCAS application, including academic grades, personal statement and academic reference.

For many degree programmes, relevant work experience will be required.

Subject-specific requirements

For many degree programmes, we will expect you to have studied specific subjects in the final year of the EB.

Where we ask applicants taking Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) Highers for a specific subject(s) we will normally ask you for the same subject(s) in the final year of your EB .

Specific subject requirements at SQA Higher for each degree programme can be found at the beginning of each subject entry via the online degree finder.

Details of the grades required at EB can be found below.
