Scholarships and bursaries

Students from Malaysia are eligible to receive our PassPort Bursary.  The PassPort Bursary gives privately-funded students a 10% tuition fee reduction for their first year of study at Portsmouth.  It applies to all degree courses with fees of £10,500 and above.  You do not need to apply for the PassPort Bursary - eligible applicants will be awarded automatically.

IMPORTANT - New TB Clearance Certificate

From 31 December 2012, Malaysian students planning to study in the UK must obtain a TB Clearance Certificate before applying for the Tier 4 Student Visa. We recommend that students obtain these as soon as possible to avoid delays with the visa application process.

This will affect students applying for September 2013 entry.  TB Clearance Certificates are issued by UKBA-approved clinics. Full information can be found on the UKBA website.

Entry requirements

We are happy to consider overseas applications on a case by case basis.  As a general guide:

Foundation:

A minimum 5 SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia) or UEC (Unified Examination Certificate - Senior Middle Level) subjects

Undergraduate:

One of the following is required:

  • A minimum of 3 A-Levels. This will be based on UCAS tariff point equivalency, including subject specific requirements where appropriate
  • A minimum of 3 STPM (Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia) subjects. This will be based on similar A-level tariff point equivalency, including subject specific requirements where appropriate
  • Matrikulasi (Matriculation Certificate). This will be based on similar A-level tariff point equivalency, including subject specific requirements where appropriate
  • Successful completion of a recognised foundation programme
  • Students with a Diploma or Advanced Diploma may be considered for advanced entry onto certain undergraduate degree programmes

Postgraduate:

We require a good Bachelor degree with at least 2nd Class Honours, depending on the course you are applying for. Each application will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

For entry onto our MBA International, students will also need at least 3 years relevant work experience after graduation in a managerial or supervisory capacity.  Work experience is also required for several other postgraduate courses and many courses will require you to have studied relevant subjects. Please see our full course list for more details.

Please note that all applications are considered individually and certain courses may accept students onto a Masters programme with a lower level degree if they have relevant work experience. Pre-masters programmes are available at ICP for a number of courses.

PhD:

Students holding a good Masters Degree will be considered for PhD study upon submission of a research proposal.  Please visit our Graduate School pages for information on specific areas of research.

English Language requirements:

We accept IELTS, TOEFL, IGCSE  and several other certificates. The required score will depend on your level of entry and your chosen course. Please visit English language requirements for more details. We offer Pre-sessional English language programmes for applicants who do not yet meet the required English level for entry onto our degree courses.
