Admission review process

Applicants will be considered for admission on their high school transcript and predicted IB results or, if already completed, on the final IB Diploma results. The Diploma with grades of 5 or better onÌýeach Higher and Standard LevelÌýsubject is the minimum expected for most programs. Many programs are more competitive and will require higher grades.

Note: Please see below for the accepted math courses for programs where math is a prerequisite subject requirement.

If admitted, you are expected to maintain your level of academic performance through to the completion of your pre-±«ÓãÖ±²¥ studies.

A maximum of 30 credits of advanced standing may be granted for the International Baccalaureate Diploma.


Information regarding the IB Math curriculum

For programs which have mathematics as a prerequisite requirement, we will accept the following:

  • HL Mathematics: analysis and approaches (Math AA)
  • SL Mathematics: analysis and approaches (Math AA), or
  • HL Mathematics: applications and interpretation (Math AI)

Ìý
SL Mathematics: applications and interpretation (Math AI) is not acceptable as a math prerequisite, but isÌýacceptable where math is not a requirement.


​Prerequisites and last year's cut-offs

Below are theÌýlowestÌýgrades (out of 42) used for admission for September 2023.

Grades that are equal to or better than those listed below do not guarantee admission.Ìý
