Studying at University College Birmingham from Nepal

Every intake we send Nepalese students to universities like University College Birmingham, and the application is handled end to end from our offices in Nepal — course selection, transcript and document preparation, the university application, your offer letter and CAS, the financial documents UKVI expects, and pre–departure guidance before you fly.

We work with international students from several countries, but the majority of our applicants are Nepali, which means our counsellors already know how UCB reads Nepali academic backgrounds, what English language proof is accepted, and where applications from Nepal usually go wrong.

UCB September 2026 Postgraduate Intake — Nepal

Applications open until 31 August 2026. No initial deposit is required for Nepalese students before interview — students can make at least a 50% CAS deposit payment after the interview to claim the scholarship.

Academic requirement

  • 3–year bachelor’s degree: 60% or above
  • 4–year bachelor’s degree: 55% or above
  • Gap acceptance: up to 10 years
  • Pre–Masters / PGDip — 3–year bachelor’s: 55–59%; 4–year bachelor’s: 50–54%

English language requirement

  • IELTS 6.0 overall, 5.5 in each band
  • PTE 59 overall, 59 in each component
  • Duolingo 105 overall — Reading 100; Listening, Writing and Speaking 95
  • MOI accepted from Tribhuvan University, Pokhara University and Kathmandu University (maximum 5–year gap for MOI, and the student must make full payment for enrolment)

English language waiver is also available where the aggregate of Grade 12 English theory and internal marks reaches CGPA 3.0, for students completing in 2021 onwards. The calculation is (theory + internal) ÷ 2 — for example, 2.0 in theory and 4.0 in internal gives (2.0 + 4.0) ÷ 2 = 3.0, which qualifies.

Fees and scholarship

  • PG Band 1: £17,500 — scholarship £3,000
  • PG Band 3: £20,750 — scholarship £4,000
  • £500 early payment discount if the full fee is paid

Intake terms, scholarships and deadlines are set by the university and change between intakes. Speak to a Real Dreams counsellor to confirm what applies to your application before you pay anything.
