SAC Learning

Achievement of the IB Diploma is accepted in fulfilment of general entry requirements for degree programmes. Where specific subjects are required, these should ideally have been taken to Higher level.

English language study within the diploma, along with confirmation in the accompanying reference of your ability to manage the English-taught programme at SAC, will normally satisfy our English language entry requirements.

Ideally, however, those speaking English as a second language should sit an IELTS or TEOFL examination prior to application.

For those achieving IB certificates, we would consider each Higher level subject taken as equivalent to a Scottish Higher.

Therefore, in terms of our entry requirements, Grade 5 would be equivalent to a B and Grade 4 equivalent to a C.

While the above holds generally true, baccalaureate students are considered on a case-by-case basis, so we recommend that as much information as possible is provided on application.
