Admission depends on the following factors for all students: to apply
for the University Foundation Course, you need to:
- be at least 18 years old
- have a competent level of English
- have completed secondary schooling in your own
country
- wish to go on to study at a British University
Please check with the Admissions
Office at St Clare's if you are unsure about your ability to meet these
criteria.
With regard to level of English, any of the following is acceptable:
- IELTS grade 5.5 or above with at least 5 in every
skill
- TOEFL with a minimum score of 197 (computer test)
or 530 (paper test)
- a good pass at Cambridge First Certificate in

transfer to the University Foundation Course when your English has met
these standards.
