Founding year and student numbers are from Wikidata and may differ from the university’s own latest figures.

Tuition is the university’s published international fee for the year shown and varies by course. Ask GESCO to confirm the fee for the course you want.

A Russell Group university with a strong research reputation, particularly in engineering, aerospace and the sciences. Competitive entry and a high proportion of international students.

Both direct entry and foundation or pathway routes are available here. If your grades or English score fall short of direct admission, the pathway route is a genuine alternative to waiting a year.

Tuition, entry requirements and intake dates differ by programme and change each year. Ask us for the current figures for the course you are considering rather than relying on published averages.
