Wrexham University

Undergraduate (UK applicants)

Apply through UCAS for all full-time undergraduate courses. You can apply for up to five courses, and the UCAS application fee is £28.95. The equal consideration deadline is 14 January 2026. After that date, courses may close once full or operate a reserve list. UCAS Extra runs from 26 February to 1 July, and applications made after 30 June go into Clearing, which runs from July to September.

Entry requirements are set for each course in UCAS tariff points. For example, BSc Computer Science asks for 96 to 112 UCAS tariff points at GCE A-level or equivalent, including a good pass in IT, Computing, Maths or Physics. Applicants who do not meet the published criteria may be assessed individually by interview. Many degrees are also offered with a foundation year.

Apply direct through the e:Vision portal for part-time undergraduate courses. Direct-apply courses open between early and mid-October. Every applicant must write a personal statement of 1,000 to 4,000 characters. You must also upload scans of your certificates to the Applicant Portal. Offers are sent through UCAS Hub and the Applicant Portal.

International applicants

International applicants apply through the page of the course they want. Academic entry requirements for each country are listed on the country pages. For example, Nigerian applicants need a National Diploma with a GPA of 2.8/4 or 3.5/5 for undergraduate entry, five WAEC credits at C6 or better including Mathematics and English for foundation entry, or a bachelor's degree at 2:2 or above for postgraduate entry. Applicants from some countries, including Nigeria, must apply through an authorised representative.

You need to upload:

• your passport
• academic certificates and transcripts, with certified translations if needed
• an English language certificate
• a TB screening certificate where required
• one academic reference
• evidence of funds for the first year's tuition and UKVI maintenance
• evidence of work experience, where relevant

The university and its agents do not charge application fees.

English language requirements

For undergraduate and taught postgraduate study, the standard is IELTS for UKVI (Academic) 6.0 overall with no skill below 5.5. Selected programmes and research degrees require 6.5 with no skill below 6.0. Accepted equivalents for undergraduate and taught postgraduate study are:

• LanguageCert Academic 65, with no skill below 60
• PTE Academic 59 in every skill
• TOEFL iBT 79, with minimums of Listening 17, Reading 18, Speaking 20 and Writing 21
• Cambridge English 170, with no component below 160

WAEC or NECO English at C6 is accepted for most programmes, but research degrees require WAEC at C5. Nationals of majority English-speaking countries and recent graduates from those countries are exempt. The Language Centre runs pre-sessional and intensive English courses.

Postgraduate taught

Apply direct through the e:Vision portal for taught postgraduate courses, listing every qualification with its title, level, awarding body and result. Apply for an MRes in the same way as other taught programmes.

Postgraduate research

The university awards its own MPhil and PhD degrees. PhD candidates normally register for an MPhil first, unless they already hold a doctorate. Before applying, contact the relevant research centre or a proposed supervisor. You will need two references, your certificates, an English language certificate if required, and an outline research proposal. Applications are made online through e:Vision, and shortlisted applicants are interviewed by the proposed supervisory team and an independent chair. Research students usually enrol in February and September, and the deadline for the February 2027 intake is 18 December 2026. A full-time PhD lasts a minimum of 2 years and a maximum of 4 years to submission.

Visas and CAS

Once you meet the conditions of your offer, the Immigration Compliance team holds a compliance interview. A CAS is issued after a successful interview and payment of course fees. Some postgraduate subjects need ATAS clearance before a CAS can be issued.
