OpenCoursa has been welcoming students from around the world for many years and we have a lot of experience of the different education systems across the world.
OpenCoursa presents academic entry requirements for postgraduate taught master’s courses using the UK marking system. For entry to a postgraduate taught master’s we normally require a bachelor’s degree with a minimum of “upper second class honours” (2:1). Please visit the postgraduate course webpage to find out what entry requirements are needed for your course.
Please see the table below to understand how Lancaster University academic entry requirements match the qualifications from your country. If your country is not listed please contact us.
The information in the table is to be used as a guide.
