Mauritius

Undergraduate entry requirements for students from Mauritius.

Students from Mauritius are admitted to the University of Edinburgh with a range of international qualifications: GCE A Levels, the IB, Standardised Tests (SAT, ACT or AP) and other recognised regional systems.

Applicants with CIE Advanced Level sat in Mauritius will be considered for direct entry. The CIE A Level sat in Mauritius is considered on a grade for grade basis with GCE A Levels sat in the UK.

Alternative qualifications

Applicants with other qualifications than those listed above will usually be required to complete a foundation year. 

International Foundation Programme

The University of Edinburgh does not currently accept the above national qualification for direct entry to undergraduate study.  

However, our International Foundation Programme (IFP) offers a route into many undergraduate degree programmes at the University of Edinburgh. 

The IFP is designed to prepare international students who are not eligible for direct entry into undergraduate study at the University of Edinburgh.  

This pre-undergraduate programme is a full-time, one year programme carefully tailored to give international students the experience and skills required to succeed at undergraduate level and help build confidence with academic English.
