How does UK Universities compare with US Universities?

I am looking at a few schools in the UK, well in London and one in Dublin, Ireland. They don’t post GPA requirments or GRE test schools. THey post 1st degree honors, 2nd, and so on, and then pass. I am not in an honors program, but I don’t know what this means. I was hoping someone with experience of UK Graduate Schools could answer and explain the process. Thanks.

The UK system does not calculate GPA per se. They still go by the standard grades though. Universities have their way(s) to calculate the overall grade to determine the type of honors you graduate with which also includes an honors project. First class is the highest honors followed by Second Upper, Second Lower and Third Class. The pass degree is as what it says just someone who just manages to pass to graduate. Because almost all degree programs in the UK are direct honors degree programs, graduating with a pass degree in the UK is as good as telling people one didn’t do at all well in college.

GRE is also not a common requirement for graduate program applications. GRE is a very American thing.

Just follow the graduate admission application instructions of the universities you are applying to and speak with the program director or advisor. Each program will have its own requirements.

Because most US applicants hold a non-honors BS or BA degree, you may only qualify for a Master’s degree program by research. You can then articulate into the PhD program within the department.

Most universities will take graduates on by a case by case basis, there are certain minimum requirements that will have to be met but they do not assure you entrance into the course.

In Ireland education has been given a numerical scale 10 = PHD, 9 = Masters, 8 = Bachelor Honours and Graduate Diploma, 7 = Bachelor Ordinary, (Used to be called National Diploma)

Bachelor Honours takes three to five years depending on the programme. You would have to check with the universities to confirm if what you have counts.
