Each research degree lists the English language requirements you will need to apply. International students must have an internationally recognised English language qualification. For more advice on accepting a full range of qualifications for non-native English students, please see our English Entry Requirements. We are aware that many schools no longer offer AS level qualifications and therefore do not formally use AS level results in admission decisions. If applicants have completed AS levels, we expect them to record UCAS application results, but we will not specifically require students to have completed AS levels to access our programs. Students applying for MBChB or BDS (Clinical Medicine or Dentistry) undergraduate programs are generally asked to provide proof of an international qualification in English (IELTS or TOEFL iBT), unless they are nationals or have been trained in one of the most English-speaking countries from Year 10 onwards. For these students, their high school English will be tested for relevance. Standard medical and dental offerings for IELTS and TOEFL iBT are described on the undergraduate and postgraduate pages. For most programs, the BTEC Extended National Diploma, BTEC Diploma plus one A Level and BTEC National Extended Certificate plus two A Levels are considered, but there may be professional requirements depending on the programme. In some cases, the subject requirement can only be taken into account if it is studied at level A. Information on the EU qualifications we accept is available on our international country pages. Please note that the University can only consider the last qualification in English to access our academic programs.
English qualification combinations will not be considered. Each application is evaluated on its own merits, however, students are generally expected to have a master`s degree. Prior exposure to research or thesis is highly desirable. Most international students from outside the European Economic Area require a visa to enter the UK. There are different types of visas, but the majority of students who come to university need a Tier 4 general student visa.

Full details about applying via UCAS can be found in our Bachelor section. Individual programs may have additional requirements, which are described on our online course pages. Bachelor students take almost all of their courses in their major from the beginning of their course. At the graduate level, the programs are even more specialized than in the United States. For example, while American students may pursue a master`s degree in English literature, Liverpool`s programs focus on a specific area such as Victorian literature. Please note that all Bachelor courses start in September; We do not offer admission in January.

An initial number of T-level qualifications were introduced for first education from September 2020, with the first students offering T-levels asking the university to enter in 2022. For non-clinical programs, we will review T levels in a relevant topic on a case-by-case basis, but we may need additional information to assess an application, such as an interview.
Non-clinical study programs with subject-specific requirements may require additional qualifications in the respective subject. For new T-level pathways, the university will review them through its qualification group as program specifications and samples of assessment materials become available. The University recognises the value of the Core Maths qualification to support the development of mathematics skills. Although the University will not include basic mathematics in our admission requirements, we welcome the additional skills it will provide to students. We do not accept basic mathematics instead of A/A level mathematics or equivalent qualifications when mathematics is a requirement of the subject. It is important for us to be able to establish that candidates have obtained the results they need to meet the conditions of an offer we submit. Detailed information on how to request a vias can be found on the website of our international support team. We do not use unit scores to express the terms of the offers we make to candidates. However, we request information from UCAS on the unit marks received by candidates offering A levels and may use this information during the confirmation period to distinguish candidates who have narrowly missed the conditions of their offer.
