International
Entry Requirements
We understand that knowing how your international qualification fits into the UK qualification system can be confusing, so our International Team is on hand to provide advice and guidance. We use a service called UK ENIC to equate international qualifications to the UK system. As an international student, you may also need to provide evidence of your English Language ability. You need to show enough written and spoken English fluency to the required level of the course you're applying to.

Further Education at Newcastle College
We offer a variety of Level 3 courses including Access to Higher Education programmes that will prepare you for your chosen degree studies. For entry onto a Level 3 course you will require equivalent to a suitable Level 2 qualification equivalent to UK GCSEs.
Academic Progression
If you need a student visa to study in the UK, it’s important to consider Academic Progression. We only accept international students who can demonstrate academic progress. This means that your new course should be a higher level than your previous course e.g. if you hold a Level 6 bachelors degree, you can apply for a Level 7 masters degree. However, it is unlikely that you would be successful if you applied for a Level 5 foundation degree, as it is at a lower level than your bachelors degree.
