NCUK Pakistan Partnership
In February 2010, NCUK launched a major new project which will see its pathway programmes delivered through a network of centres in Pakistan. Through NCUK Pakistan, the University of Huddersfield will be working in partnership with five high profile institutions in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad/Rawalpindi – CAMS, NCUK Lahore, St Mary’s College, Hamdard University and Riphah International University.
Students across the country will enjoy access to NCUK’s International Foundation Year (delivered as NCUK Year 1 in Pakistan) and NCUK’s International Diploma (Year 2).
Thank you to everyone we met in Karachi, Rawalpindi and Lahore.
The University’s normal entry criteria apply to all international students. For details of country-specific entry requirements please visit your home country page on our website.
English language requirements for any degree
The University has formal requirements for all applicants. These are normally English Language qualifications which we recognise as meeting our entry criteria. Requirements may vary between programmes, and you are advised to check these carefully when going through course listings.
The following table sets out the main qualifications we recognise and the levels that are normally required for admission. It is intended as general guidance only - the offer of a place, if it includes an English Language condition, will specify the level of English that you are required to meet.
The University of Huddersfield is pleased to accept a Pass in all four elements at the Proficiency Level of the Ascentis Anglia ESOL Language qualification as meeting the University’s English Language requirements for students from the EU.
If you don’t yet meet these requirements, don’t worry as we also have extensive Pre-Sessional English programmes on campus.

English Language - waivers
In exceptional circumstances the University may agree to waive the standard English Language requirements. This will normally only be appropriate when the applicant has undergone an extensive face-to-face interview with an admissions tutor, or has undertaken a diagnostic test set by the University. If you are applying through a recognised partner institution there may be special arrangements which mean you don’t have to take one of the tests listed above.
Applicants from any of the following Majority English Speaking Countries (MESCs) will normally be considered to have met our English requirements:
Please note that we will not normally waive the English Language requirement for speakers of other languages who have completed a programme of study taught in English in their home countries.
