FAQ

Is this an official equivalence? No. UK universities set their own entry requirements for Pakistani degrees. Check the country-specific page of your chosen university.

Where can I get an official comparison? UK ENIC provides statements of comparability for overseas qualifications.

Does a 4-year BS matter? Yes. Many UK universities treat a 4-year bachelor’s degree more favourably than a 2-year one, so check how your degree length is treated.

Can I apply with a CGPA below 3.0? Some universities accept it for certain courses, often with extra requirements. Check each course page.
