Your Country - Japan

Entry Requirements

The University of Bradford is pleased to welcome applications from Japan. When you apply, we will consider your educational qualifications, your English Language level and, in some cases, your relevant work experience. Entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for, but we hope that the following information will be useful as a guide to our requirements.

Bachelor's/Undergraduate Study

Students must complete a recognised Foundation Programme after the Upper Secondary School Leaving Certificate (Kotogakko Sotsugyo Shomeisho) in order to be eligible to apply for a degree at Bachelor's/undergraduate level. Please see Foundation Programmes, below.

Alternatively, students must have completed at least one year of university study at a reputable university in Japan at an approved level.

Bradford also welcomes A-level and IB students from international schools!

Foundation Year Programmes

For entry to the Bradford's Foundation Year Programmes, students must have an Upper Secondary School Leaving Certificate at an approved level.

Master's/Postgraduate Study

Bradford welcomes applicants for taught master's degrees from students with a good Japanese university degree qualification.

The University of Bradford is a founder member of NCUK (Northern Consortium United Kingdom) which provides programmes to prepare international students for study outside of their home country. Please visit http://www.ncuk.ac.uk/ for further information on NCUK.

Completion of the NCUK's Pre-Master's Programme at the required level gives guaranteed entry to a Master's degree at the University of Bradford.

MBA

Candidates for Bradford's renowned MBA course will need to demonstrate that they have had significant managerial experience. Our regulations specify a minimum of three years of post graduation work experience. However, the mere fact that you have worked for three years since your graduation does not necessarily mean you have the level of managerial experience we require. The average length of work experience successful applicants have is between five and six years. MBA applicants will also be required to take an on-line Bradford Admissions Test.

Research

Students with more advanced qualifications and a well-thought out research proposal can be considered for MPhil / PhD level study.
