Entry requirements for applicants with European Baccalaureate (EB) qualifications. HTML 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. What grades you need When you view a programme on our degree finder, you will see entry requirements for UK qualifications called A Levels, GCSEs and other qualifications you may require for entry. Minimum requirements The table below shows you the equivalent grades for the European Baccalaureate, based on the minimum A Level offer. You must achieve these grades, or higher, to be entered into our selection process. For some degrees, demand for places is much higher than places available, so applicants who meet the minimum requirements are not guaranteed an offer. Most offers will be made to students who achieve grades above the minimum entry requirement.
