Program overview

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A bachelor degree. The university recognises internationally accredited qualifications and assesses them against UK comparability guidance, so a three year Indian bachelor degree from a recognised university is accepted. Individual courses may set a higher percentage or require a related subject.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, or PTE Academic 59 overall with no component below 59. TOEFL and the Duolingo English Test are not accepted.
- Application and deposit: No application fee. The London campus requires a tuition deposit of 50 percent of the annual fee before the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies can be issued, which is a different rule from the flat deposit charged at the Sunderland campus.
- Scholarship: An automatic GBP 5,500 Global Leaders Scholarship tuition reduction applies to eligible postgraduate applicants, and is shown on the conditional offer letter.
- Work permit: Master of Business Administration (MBA) leads to a University of Sunderland degree at a licensed student sponsor, so it supports a Graduate Route application, granted at 18 months for applications made from January 2027. Dependants cannot accompany students on taught programmes under UK rules in force since January 2024.
- Student visa: Apply Study Visa completes the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies stage and the UK student visa submission with you.
