Tanzania

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

Applicants with the Certificate of Secondary Education (CSE) will usually be required to complete a foundation year. Students with a Division 1 pass in the Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education (ACSE) will often be considered for direct entry.

In the College of Science and Engineering we accept the Advance Certificate of Secondary Education (ACSE) alongside the Internal Selection Test for entry.
