Admissions
International applicants
Applying with qualifications obtained outside Sierra Leone.
Qualifications the university recognises
The published entry requirements are written around three examination boards. If you hold one of these, your application follows the ordinary route and the requirements on the undergraduate and postgraduate pages apply to you unchanged.

What counts as a credit
The scales differ between boards, which is the detail most people get wrong. WASSCE credits are A1, B2, B3, C4, C5, C6. The older WAEC GCE O Level counts grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The London GCE accepts A, B, C.
What the university has not published
The following are not stated in any published document, so they are not stated here. Each is a question for the registry, and each answer can change between cycles.
- Visa and immigration requirements for study in Sierra Leone.
- An English language threshold for applicants taught in another language.
- Fees for applicants who are not Sierra Leonean nationals.
- Scholarships or bursaries open to international applicants.
This page will carry them as soon as the registry publishes them. Until then, asking is faster than assuming.
Before you pay
Ask the registry to assess your qualification
Include the qualification, awarding body, country and the programme you are considering. That gives the registry the information needed to tell you whether the ordinary application route is available.

Choose a programme, then talk to the registry
Knowing which programme you want makes the registry's answer a great deal more useful.
