Documents Required for Admission

All documents, except for transcripts, can be emailed directly to intladmit@manchester.edu

1. Complete Online Application 
   Manchester University accepts international applications submitted via our online application at apply.manchester.edu or via The Common Application at www.commonapp.org. 
   
2. Proof of English Proficiency
   International applicants must be able to read, speak, write and comprehend rapid idiomatic English.  We do not offer ESL instruction. Therefore, Manchester requires one of the exams listed below. The following are minimum guidelines used to determine sufficient test scores for admission: 
   
   • TOEFL paper-based test=550
   • TOEFL iBT=79
   • IELTS=6.5
   • Pearson PTE=53
   • DuoLingo=110
   • SAT=400
   • ACT=20
     Testing locations and dates for these exams may be found on their web sites: TOEFL http://www.ets.org/toefl; IELTS www.ielts.org; Pearson PTE www.pearsonpte.com; DuoLingo https://englishtest.duolingo.com; SAT https://www.collegeboard.org/; ACT https://www.act.org. We require original scores sent from the different test administrators.
3. Official or certified copies of national exams
   We need copies of all national exams as proof of completion of secondary school. This includes national exams or “O” level exams, and “A” level exams.
4. Copy/scan of passport
   We need a photo or scanned copy of a student's current unexpired passport.
5. Evidence of financial support
   Student and financial sponsor must complete the Affidavits of Financial Support and return those to the Admissions Office with proof of adequate funds to support you for at least one year.  Such proof includes bank statements, employer testimony of salary, or government support letters. 
   
6. Letter of Recommendation
   A letter of recommendation from an employer or teacher or the reference form from the Common Application may be used.  This must be in English.
   
7. Certified copies of marks, grades, transcripts
   Manchester will not accept transcripts directly submitted by students or institutions. All international transcripts must be submitted for evaluation to World Education Services. WES will then send Manchester University a copy of their evaluation. There is a fee for this evaluation that the student is in charge of paying and the evaluation can take 2-4 weeks. If you are transferring from a university outside the U.S., you also must have the transcript evaluated by World Education Services.  Admission and transfer of credits cannot be finalized until we receive the report from WES: https://www.wes.org/
