Undergraduate Entry Requirement

UIC Global has three tracks specifically designed to set students up for success. Our admissions team will place you in the appropriate track for your needs.

GCE – A LEVELS – Overall GPA of all secondary coursework completed at the time of application and the number of final A-levels awarded (or expected). Predicted A-level results will only be considered to verify that in-progress students are expected to take A-level exams in at least 3 subjects.

Applicants applying to STEM majors, including business, must have Math as one of their 3 A-levels and those applying to health-related programs must have Math and Science as 2 of their 3 A-levels.
