Glasgow Caledonian University

Glasgow Caledonian appears on published lists of British universities that recognise the Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools Grade 12 Certificate, alongside Cambridge, Edinburgh, Manchester, Warwick, Queen Mary and others. For an NIS graduate that is the headline, because in Scotland it is worth a year: direct entry to the first year rather than a foundation year in front of a four-year degree. The recognition is documented; the grade threshold is not, and it has to be confirmed. Across Britain the published NIS bars run from BBB at Loughborough and the University of Glasgow to an overall A average at Queen Mary, and a modern university is likely to sit at the accessible end. Glasgow Caledonian is a large modern university in the city centre, drawing students from more than 100 countries and known for physiotherapy, radiography, food science, engineering and business, with work placements built into many courses.
