Undergraduate entry requirements for applicants from Iceland.

To apply for a place at Edinburgh, you’ll need qualifications, a personal statement and a reference. You will also need to provide evidence of your English language skills through qualifications.

The qualifications and grades you need vary by degree and may include admissions tests, portfolios, interviews or evidence of relevant work experience. We call these our entry requirements.

Qualifications we accept

From Iceland, we accept the Stúdentspróf.

For degree programmes in Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences subjects, applicants should have at least an overall average grade of 7 or above, with 8 in required subjects.

Biomedical Sciences

For Biomedical Sciences & Medical Sciences, successful completion of Stúdentspróf with 7 overall and 8 in Biology and Chemistry.

What to include in your application

You must submit a fully completed UCAS application that includes:

a personal statement
a reference
full details of all achieved qualifications, as well as any you are taking this year

Predicted grades

We need to see predicted grades for all qualifications you have not yet completed. This includes each subject you are taking in your final qualifications, so that we can ensure you meet all entry requirements.

Without predicted grades we cannot assess your application fully, and it is very unlikely to be considered in the selection process.

Although predicted grades should be added by your referee in the appropriate section of the UCAS application form, it is your responsibility to check that this has been done.
