Overseas Academic Qualifications Equivalency Chart
This document provides the minimum grade requirements needed from each
country/region in order to apply for a scholarship. It is worth noting that there can be
great variation in the education systems between countries/regions and, where
applicable, multiple systems have been listed within the same country/region.
The document has been compiled from a variety of sources including: UK NARIC
(National Academic Recognition Information Centre for the United Kingdom)
www.naric.org.uk and the UK government website for overseas qualifications
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/overseas-degree-equivalency-table-
and-methodology.
Please note that this table lists the University of Westminster’s minimum
requirements for postgraduate scholarship applications only and these are non-
negotiable.
Please note:
If you hold an Equivalent Level Qualification (ELQ) then you are NOT eligible
to apply for a scholarship. Please refer to our ELQ policy here.
A minimum equivalent of a UK 2.1 is needed to apply for a half or part tuition
fee award.
A minimum equivalent of a UK 1st is needed to apply for a full tuition fee
award or a full scholarship.
If you do not meet the academic requirement needed in order to apply for a
scholarship, then sadly, your application cannot be considered. Please do not apply
if you are not eligible.
If your country/region is not listed, or the education system currently used is not
displayed, please contact the Scholarships Office ([email protected])
who can provide you with more information. When requesting more information
regarding academic qualifications it is helpful if you can send copies of your
academic transcripts, where possible.
