Portfolio, references and personal statement required; interview may be required. NOT ARB/RIBA Part 2 accredited. PAKISTAN: No official Pakistan-specific threshold was found on gsa.ac.uk after genuine searching (no Pakistan country page retrieved; GSA programme specifications direct non-UK/Ireland applicants to GSA's general International pages, which publish no Pakistan HSSC/bachelor % in the material retrieved) - applicants are assessed against the programme standard above, with portfolio/interview decisive; confirm direct-entry eligibility for HSSC or Pakistani bachelor qualifications with GSA Admissions before advising. Do NOT quote aggregator figures (e.g. Collegedunia Class XII 60-85% or bachelor's 55%, IDP GPA 3.0 summaries) as official, and do NOT transfer India figures to Pakistan. Deposit: international deposit GBP 6,400 payable after accepting an offer; CAS is not issued until it is paid (official GSA Fees & Finance 2026/27). All GSA degrees are validated by the University of Glasgow.
