International students can refer to the country specific academic requirements for degree programmes and general academic requirements. Students do however require a high school diploma or equivalent for the International Incorporated Bachelor Degree.
For the International Incorporated Masters, students will require completion of an undergraduate degree from a recognised university or equivalent. Students with a HND or three-year higher level diploma with at least 2 years work experience may be considered.
For students who do not meet the English Language requirements to enter the International Incorporated Bachelors or the International Incorporated Masters, BUIC offers a range of Pre-sessional English Programmes which students can take before they start these courses.
Students must have an IELTS of 5.5 (with no component below 5.5) or equivalent to gain admission at the undergraduate level. If they do not have an IELTS of 5.5 overall with a minimum of 5.5 in any component, they will be offered a Pre-sessional English course to be studied immediately before they enter International Year Zero or International Year 1 of their chosen International Incorporated Bachelor’s programme.
Students must complete the application form and send their completed application to one of the email or postal addresses specified by BUIC on their website. Students can also choose to complete the form and return it to their local representative.
A student application will need to include copies of all relevant academic transcripts and certificates of English language qualifications.
Once students submit the application, a Student Adviser will contact them to discuss any questions they may have about their application and to ensure all relevant academic transcripts and certificates of their English language qualifications have been sent.
If the application is successful, students will be sent a formal conditional or unconditional offer of a place - usually within 48 hours.
As soon as students are ready to accept the offer of a place, they should send through the completed Acceptance Form and pay the advance fees as required.
