Academic Entry Requirements
Published standard (abdn/UCAS, Arts & Social Sciences): A-level BBC standard (Minimum BCC, Adjusted CCC for widening access); Scottish Highers BBBB standard; IB 32 points incl. 5,5,5 at HL. GCSE English C/4 required. IELTS in next column. PAKISTAN (OFFICIAL abdn Pakistan entry page, abdn.ac.uk/study/international/country-territory/pakistan/entry/): HSSC (science or arts version) average 75% or better; for Accountancy/Economics/Finance degrees 75% in Mathematics is also needed; 75% (HSSC) English is also required. HSSC English acceptance table separately lists Pakistan Intermediate/High School Certificate at 75% or 150/200. Students not eligible for direct Year 1 entry take a Foundation Year via the International Study Centre (pathway only, not in this list). DEPOSIT/CAS (official UG Deposit Policy): self-funded international UG offer-holders who need a CAS must pay a tuition-fee deposit — standard £3,000; some offer-holders are instead required to pay 50% or 100% of tuition fees (notified by email). No CAS is issued until the required amount is received. Deposit is non-transferable/non-refundable except as in the policy. SCHOLARSHIP (NOT deducted from the fee above): Aberdeen Global Scholarship £6,000 per year for eligible self-funded international UG students (terms apply). AGENT STATUS: FM Consultants does NOT appear on the University of Aberdeen's published Pakistan agents list (WIN Education Pakistan, BCIE, Crizac Global, Falcon Education, Global Study Partners, IDP, LCI, Q & A Consultants, StudyIn, TCL Global, UKEC — abdn.ac.uk Pakistan agents page); confirm representative/contracted-agent status before submitting as an agent route. No Aberdeen-specific Pakistan recruitment pause, sponsor-licence suspension, region exclusion, study-gap limit or approved-agent-only rule was found on Aberdeen's own site in this pass — BUT sector-wide reporting in Oct 2026 says ~15 UK universities (unnamed) suspended Pakistan recruitment in 2026 under the 5% visa-refusal threshold, so CONFIRM Aberdeen's current Pakistan stance with Admissions/the Pakistan manager before advising any Pakistan applicant; do not guarantee a CAS outcome.
