Acorn House welcomes applications from international students who are able to demonstrate the following:
A strong academic background
The college does not require any specific grade requirements in order to ensure that students with the full range of international qualification can be considered. However, a good academic record is essential for A Level students in particular.
English Language
Students from overseas who require a Tier 4 general visa, will be required to take and pass an English test recognised by the UKVI. Our staff can advise on the available tests. Students who do not require a visa or who require a different type of visa have different English requirements but should at least have a level of English that allows them to benefit fully from their course.
Academic Ambition
At Acorn House College, we are keen to accept students with a strong desire to pursue academia after school and go on to a top university
