Entry requirements
We accept qualifications from around the world. The list below is a guide to what we will accept from your country.
The value of each qualification is indicated with an O, A, S or G
Key:
- O - Equivalent to GCSE/GCE O level.
- A - (or AS) is equivalent to GCE A/AS level.
- S - satisfies the specific requirements for a named course or the specific and the General Entrance Requirements for a named course.
- G - satisfies General Entrance Requirements as a whole. You may still require course-specific requirements (e.g. Mathematics) plus English language proficiency.
You do not need any requirements to enroll in our short courses and language programs apart from PC and internet connection. We do accept many awards that are not listed here, such as non-listed school qualifications, diplomas and professional awards. For practical reasons, we are unable to list every acceptable award.

Notes
Qualifications that satisfy the General Entrance Requirements do not necessarily meet further specific course requirements. Specific course requirements are considered separately and may not appear here
Overlapping rule: the same subject cannot be used twice for admission purposes. For example, if you have a GCSE / O level and a GCE A level in Geography, we count the subject once for admission purposes.
Acceptable institution: this means acceptable to the University of Haana.
Please note: this list is for guidance purposes. We reserve the right to amend it at any time.
If you require further information about any of the above, please contact us.
Ph.D. Entry Requirements
This is generalized guidance for most Ph.D. programs at UOH – you should check the specific Ph.D. entry requirements and Ph.D. eligibility criteria for each program you apply for.
Additionally, there may be certain circumstances in which a special case could be made for an applicant who doesn’t meet the standard requirements. You should discuss this with the potential Ph.D. supervisor or admissions administrator.
Qualifications and academic eligibility
All Ph.D. applicants will need to show good performance at the undergraduate level. This Ph.D. entry requirement means at least a UK upper second class honors degree (2.1). This needs to be in a relevant discipline for the Ph.D. study.
You may also need a Masters's degree, in a relevant subject, to be eligible for a Ph.D. application. Again, you should show good performance at this level, with a Merit or Distinction grade.
Typically, Arts and Humanities PhDs are more likely to require a Masters's degree. For Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) PhDs, an undergraduate degree may be sufficient. This depends on the individual degree program.
Suitability
This is usually evaluated via the application process. One of our Ph.D. supervisors will consider aspects of the application, such as your research proposal and interview to verify if you show enough competency and dedication for the Ph.D.
Residency
Language
There may be some exceptions to this, such as if you have already studied an English-language degree in a native English-speaking country, for example.
Other graduate entry tests
The University of Haana requires prospective students to take a graduate entry test in order to be eligible for a Ph.D.
This will be a general test. Also, some tests are more widely accepted than others.
