University of Edinburgh

A-level: from A*AA to AAA in one set of exams, no specific subject required, GCSE Mathematics at B/6; IB: from 40 points with 766 at HL to 37 points with 666 at HL

Edinburgh's own Accounting and Finance MA entry-requirements page confirms the same A*AA-AAA standard as the Business Management entry, also with no specific subject required beyond GCSE Mathematics. Reuses the same Business/Accounting/Finance USA-qualifications route as that entry (AP Calculus 3+, AP Precalculus 4+, ACT Math 27+, or SAT Math 675+) and the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*A*A to AAA in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), no specific subject required, GCSE Mathematics at A/7; IB: from 37 points with 666 at HL to 34 points with 655 at HL, Mathematics at SL 6

Edinburgh's own Architecture BA/MA entry-requirements page confirms the A*A*A-AAA standard, the GCSE-level Mathematics floor (higher than every other non-STEM course, at grade A/7), and that 'evidence of artistic ability is normally required' at either A-level/IB or GCSE level -- no formal portfolio-submission process is detailed on this specific page. The CAHSS USA-qualifications page gives a math-component route for Architecture: AP Calculus or AP Precalculus at 4+, OR ACT 29+, OR SAT 700+ (on the relevant section). Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor for the overall test requirement, with this course-specific math-component route layered on top. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*A*A* to AAB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), Mathematics required at A (achieved within two academic years of entry); IB: from 43 points with 777 at HL to 34 points with 665 at HL (Widening Access: 32 points with 655 at HL), Mathematics (Analysis and approaches) at HL 6, English at SL 5

Edinburgh's own Artificial Intelligence BSc entry-requirements page confirms the A*A*A*-AAB standard and the Mathematics-within-two-years requirement -- the identical grade range and subject rule as Edinburgh's Computer Science BSc entry elsewhere in this list, both administered within the School of Informatics. The School of Informatics' own USA-qualifications page doesn't name Artificial Intelligence individually, but gives 'AP Calculus at 4' as the general School of Informatics-programmes figure, the same one already documented for Computer Science -- reused here on that basis rather than presented as AI-specific. Reuses Edinburgh's SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor documented elsewhere in this list.

A-level: from AAA to ABB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), Biology at B, Chemistry at B, and A in one of Biology/Chemistry/Mathematics/Physics; IB: from 37 points with 666 at HL to 32 points with 655 at HL, Biology at HL 5, Chemistry at HL 5, Mathematics or Physics at SL 6

Edinburgh's own Biological Sciences BSc entry-requirements page confirms the AAA-ABB standard and the Biology-plus-Chemistry-plus-a-third-science-subject requirement. The School of Biological Sciences' own USA-qualifications page requires Biology and Chemistry plus either a B in Physics or AP Physics at 3 -- documented as a real subject combination rather than a single AP score, distinct from every other school's single-AP-plus-base-floor pattern. Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*AA to AAA in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), no specific subject required, GCSE Mathematics at B/6; IB: from 40 points with 766 at HL to 37 points with 666 at HL

Edinburgh's own Business Management MA entry-requirements page confirms the A*AA-AAA standard and that no specific A-level/IB subject is required, only a GCSE-level Mathematics floor. The Business School's own USA-qualifications page (via the CAHSS USA-qualifications page) gives a genuinely flexible Mathematics route for Business/Accounting/Finance degrees: AP Calculus at 3+, OR AP Precalculus at 4+, OR ACT Math 27+, OR SAT Math 675+ -- four distinct qualifying paths rather than one fixed requirement. Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from AAA to ABB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), Mathematics at B and Chemistry at B; IB: from 37 points with 666 at HL to 32 points with 655 at HL, Mathematics (Analysis and approaches) at HL 5 and Chemistry at HL 5, Physics at SL 5

Edinburgh's own Chemical Engineering MEng entry-requirements page confirms the AAA-ABB standard and the Mathematics-plus-Chemistry subject requirement. The School of Engineering's own USA-qualifications page names 'AP Calculus at 4 and Chemistry' specifically for Chemical Engineering. Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed on the entry-requirements page.

A-level: A*AA in one set of exams in Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics; IB: HL Chemistry, Mathematics (Analysis and approaches), and Physics at 5, SL English at 5

Edinburgh's own Chemical Physics programme page confirms the A*AA-in-Chemistry/Mathematics/Physics standard (a fixed three-subject requirement, not a range like the other Science entries) and its UCAS code, F334. The School of Chemistry's own USA-qualifications page names the course-specific combination directly: 'Chemistry, AP Calculus at 4 and Physics.' Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor.

A-level: from AAA to ABB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), Chemistry at B and Mathematics at B; IB: from 37 points with 666 at HL to 32 points with 655 at HL, Chemistry at HL 5 and Mathematics (Analysis and approaches) at HL 5

Edinburgh's own Chemistry BSc entry-requirements page confirms the AAA-ABB standard and the Chemistry-plus-Mathematics subject requirement; Higher Applications of Mathematics explicitly not accepted, Advanced Higher Mathematics and Chemistry recommended. The School of Chemistry's own USA-qualifications page names AP Calculus at 4 for standard Chemistry programmes. Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*A*A* to A*AB in one set of exams (Widening Access: A*BB), Mathematics required at A*; IB: from 43 points with 777 at HL to 34 points with 755 at HL, Mathematics (Analysis and approaches) at HL 7, English at SL 5

Edinburgh's own Computer Science and Mathematics BSc entry-requirements page confirms the A*A*A*-A*AB standard and the A*-in-Mathematics requirement, a real step up from Edinburgh's plain Computer Science entry elsewhere in this list. The School of Informatics' own USA-qualifications page names Calculus AP at 5 for this specific joint programme, higher than plain Computer Science's AP Calculus at 4 -- reflecting the same real distinction as the native A-level requirement. Reuses Edinburgh's SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*A*A* to AAB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), Mathematics required at A (achieved within two academic years of entry); IB: from 43 points with 777 at HL to 34 points with 665 at HL, Mathematics (Analysis and approaches) at HL 6, English at SL 5

Edinburgh's own Computer Science BSc entry-requirements page confirms the standard-entry range and Mathematics subject requirement above; Higher Applications of Mathematics explicitly not accepted as a substitute. the existing Edinburgh Economics MA entry documents the university-wide US-applicant base floor (SAT 1290+ [650+ EBRW, 620+ Math] or ACT 27+, plus two AP scores at 4+), re-confirmed on both cahss.ed.ac.uk and the general ed.ac.uk USA country page (both checked directly). The School of Informatics' own USA-qualifications page (science-engineering.ed.ac.uk) adds the course-specific AP on top of that base: AP Calculus at 4 for Computer Science. No UCAS code confirmed on the entry-requirements page.

SAT 1290+

SAT 650+ EBRW/620+ Math or ACT 27+, plus two AP scores at 4+ (one must be AP Calculus for Economics degrees, per the same page). Alternate non-AP route: SAT/ACT plus a 3.3/4.0 GPA. Page confirmed current for 2026 entry; 2027-entry applications open Sept 2026.

A-level: from A*A*A* to A*AA in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), Mathematics at B or AS Mathematics at A; IB: from 40 points with 766 at HL to 37 points with 666 at HL, Mathematics at HL 5

Edinburgh's own Economics with Finance MA entry-requirements page confirms the A*A*A*-A*AA standard and the Mathematics subject requirement, a real step up from Business/Accounting/Finance's no-specific-subject standard elsewhere in this list. Filed under 'Economics' rather than 'Business & Management', matching Edinburgh's Economics MA entry's own subject bucket. The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences' own USA-qualifications page names AP Calculus at 4+ for Economics degrees, the same figure already documented for Economics MA. Reuses Edinburgh's SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor.

A-level: AAA to ABB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), Mathematics at A plus one of Physics/Biology/Chemistry/Computer Science/Design and Technology/Engineering at B (Physics preferred); IB: 37 points with 666 at HL to 34 points with 665 at HL, Mathematics (Analysis and approaches) at HL 6 plus one science at HL/SL 5

Edinburgh's own Electronics and Computer Science BEng entry-requirements page confirms the AAA-ABB standard, the Mathematics-plus-one-science subject requirement, and that Physics is preferred among the science options. The School of Engineering's own USA-qualifications page names AP Calculus at 5 and Physics specifically for this programme -- a real step up from plain Engineering's AP Calculus at 4 plus one science (see the general Engineering entry). Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: AAA to ABB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), Mathematics at B plus one of Physics/Biology/Chemistry/Computer Science/Design and Technology/Engineering at B (Physics preferred); IB: 37 points with 666 at HL to 34 points with 655 at HL, Mathematics (Analysis and approaches) at HL 5 plus one science at HL/SL 5

Edinburgh's own general Engineering BEng/MEng entry-requirements page confirms the AAA-ABB standard and UCAS code H100 -- the only broad-entry engineering route in Edinburgh's catalog here, letting students explore all engineering disciplines in Year 1 before choosing a specific specialization (Chemical, Electronics and Computer Science, etc., some of which appear as their own separate entries elsewhere in this list) at the start of Year 2. The School of Engineering's own USA-qualifications page names 'AP Calculus at 4' plus one science subject as the general-route requirement. Reuses Edinburgh's SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor.

A-level: from A*A*A* to A*AA in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), English Literature or combined English at B; IB: from 40 points with 766 at HL to 37 points with 666 at HL, English at HL 5

Edinburgh's own English Literature MA entry-requirements page confirms the A*A*A*-A*AA standard and the English-subject requirement -- the same figures as the Law LLB entry, a real coincidence of two different schools converging on identical grade bands, not a copy-paste. The CAHSS USA-qualifications page names 'AP English Literature and Composition at 4+' for this specific course (distinct from Law's either-English-AP acceptance). Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from ABB to BBB in one set of exams (Widening Access: BBB), two of Biology/Chemistry/Environmental Science/Geography/Geology/Mathematics/Physics at B, at least one from Biology/Chemistry/Mathematics/Physics; IB: from 32 points with 655 at HL to 30 points with 555 at HL, two of the same subject list at HL 5, SL Mathematics at 5 if not taken at HL

Edinburgh's own Environmental Geoscience BSc entry-requirements page confirms the ABB-BBB standard and the two-of-seven-subjects requirement -- the lowest-tier Edinburgh Science entry, below every other AAA-A*A*A* Science entry in this list. The School of GeoSciences' own USA-qualifications page confirms the identical subject list directly for Environmental Geoscience: 'two from Biology*, Chemistry*, Mathematics/Calculus*, Physics*, Environmental Science, or Geography' with Mathematics/Calculus required at AP 4+ if used to satisfy the requirement. Reuses Edinburgh's SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor.

A-level: from AAA to ABB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), two of Geography/Biology/Chemistry/Environmental Science/Mathematics/Physics; IB: from 34 points with 655 at HL to 32 points with 655 at HL

Edinburgh's own Geography BSc entry-requirements page confirms the AAA-ABB standard and the two-of-several-science-subjects requirement -- a real, physical-geography-focused science degree, distinct from Edinburgh's separate Geography MA (Hons), a human-geography-leaning arts route not included in this list. The School of GeoSciences' own USA-qualifications page states Mathematics/Calculus is required at grade A (AP 4) or B (AP 3), varying by specific programme within the school. Reuses Edinburgh's SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*A*A to AAB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), no specific subjects required; IB: from 37 points with 666 at HL to 34 points with 655 at HL, English at SL 5

Edinburgh's own History MA entry-requirements page confirms the A*A*A-AAB standard and no required subjects -- 'Your A levels can be in any subject, except the few subjects we do not accept.' cahss.ed.ac.uk's own USA-qualifications page (re-checked independently) confirms History carries no subject-specific AP add-on of its own, by its own enumerated list of courses that do have one -- reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor (or three APs at 4+ alone) on that basis. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*A*A* to AAA in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), no specific subjects required; IB: from 37 points with 666 at HL to 34 points with 655 at HL, English at SL 5

Edinburgh's own International Relations MA entry-requirements page confirms the identical A*A*A*-AAA standard as the Politics entry -- both administered within the School of Social and Political Science. cahss.ed.ac.uk's own USA-qualifications page (re-checked independently) confirms no subject-specific AP add-on -- reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor (or three APs at 4+ alone). No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*A*A to A*AA in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), English Literature/English Language/combined English at B; IB: from 40 points with 766 at HL to 37 points with 666 at HL, English at HL 5

Edinburgh's own Law (Ordinary and Honours) LLB entry-requirements page confirms the A*A*A-A*AA standard and the English-subject requirement. Other Scottish/English/Irish Law entries elsewhere in this list (Oxford, Cambridge, King's, LSE) all require the LNAT or equivalent admissions test -- Edinburgh's own page names none, a genuine contrast worth flagging rather than assuming a test applies by precedent. The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences' own USA-qualifications page names 'AP English Language and Composition or AP English Literature and Composition at 4+' for LLB Law/Global Law. Reuses Edinburgh's SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: ABB (same for standard and Widening Access), no specific subjects required; IB: 34 points with 655 at HL (same for standard and Widening Access), English at SL 5

Edinburgh's own Linguistics MA entry-requirements page confirms ABB/IB 34 (655 HL) -- a real, confirmed feature of this specific page: standard and Widening Access entry are identical, unlike every other course, where Widening Access sits below the standard range. cahss.ed.ac.uk's own USA-qualifications page (re-checked independently) confirms no subject-specific AP add-on for Linguistics -- reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor (or three APs at 4+ alone). No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*A*A* to A*AB in one set of exams (Widening Access: A*AB), Mathematics at A* and Physics at B, Further Mathematics preferred; IB: from 38 points with 766 at HL to 34 points with 765 at HL, Mathematics (Analysis and approaches) at HL 7 and Physics at HL 5

Edinburgh's own Mathematics and Physics BSc entry-requirements page confirms the A*A*A*-A*AB standard and the Mathematics-A*-plus-Physics-B requirement. The School of Mathematics' own USA-qualifications page names 'AP calculus at 5 and Physics' specifically for this joint programme, a real step up from plain Mathematics's AP Calculus at 5 alone (see the Mathematics BSc entry). Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*A*A* to A*AB in one set of exams (Widening Access: A*AB), Mathematics at A* achieved within two academic years of entry, Further Mathematics preferred; IB: 38-34 points with 766-765 at HL, Mathematics (Analysis and approaches) at HL 7, English at SL 5

Edinburgh's own Mathematics BSc entry-requirements page confirms the A*A*A*-A*AB standard and the A*-Mathematics-within-two-years requirement; Higher Applications of Mathematics explicitly not accepted as a substitute, Advanced Higher Mathematics recommended for Scottish qualifications. The School of Mathematics' own USA-qualifications page names AP Calculus at 5 for this course. Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: ABB, no specific subject required, GCSE Mathematics at C/4; IB: 34 points with 655 at HL, English at SL 5, Mathematics at SL 4

Edinburgh's own Nursing Studies BN entry-requirements page confirms the ABB standard -- the lowest A-level bar -- and that admission includes a required interview, prior people-facing experience described as advisable, and post-acceptance health-clearance and fitness-to-practise checks, a real structural difference from every other course. The CAHSS USA-qualifications page gives Nursing its own, lower math route: AP Calculus/Precalculus at 3+, OR ACT Math 25+, OR SAT Math 650+ -- distinct from the general base floor. Filed under 'Medicine & Health Sciences' -- Nursing isn't a physician-training programme, so no ECFMG sponsor-note lookup applies here, the same treatment already applied to the other Nursing entries. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*AA to AAB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), no specific subjects required; IB: from 36 points with 665 at HL to 34 points with 655 at HL, English at SL 5

Edinburgh's own Philosophy MA entry-requirements page confirms the A*AA-AAB standard and no required subjects. cahss.ed.ac.uk's own USA-qualifications page (re-checked independently) confirms no subject-specific AP add-on for Philosophy -- reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor (or three APs at 4+ alone). Filed under 'Humanities', matching the Cambridge and King's College London Philosophy entries' own subject classification. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from AAA to ABB in one set of exams, Mathematics at A and Physics at B; IB: from 37 points with 666 at HL to 32 points with 655 at HL, Mathematics (Analysis and approaches) at HL 6 and Physics at HL 5, English at SL 5

Edinburgh's own Physics BSc entry-requirements page confirms the AAA-ABB standard and the Mathematics-plus-Physics subject requirement. The School of Physics' own USA-qualifications page names 'AP calculus at 4 and Physics' for this course. Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*A*A* to AAA in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), no specific subjects required; IB: from 37 points with 666 at HL to 34 points with 655 at HL, English at SL 5

Edinburgh's own Politics MA entry-requirements page confirms the A*A*A*-AAA standard and no required subjects -- a genuinely wider and slightly higher-ceiling range than the History/Philosophy entries. cahss.ed.ac.uk's own USA-qualifications page (re-checked independently) confirms no subject-specific AP add-on for Politics -- reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor (or three APs at 4+ alone). No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from A*A*A* to AAA in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), one of Biology/Human Biology/Chemistry/Computer Science/Environmental Science/Geography/Geology/Life and Health Science/Mathematics/Physics/Psychology/Statistics at B; IB: from 37 points with 666 at HL to 34 points with 655 at HL

Edinburgh's own Psychology BSc entry-requirements page confirms the A*A*A*-AAA standard and its unusually broad list of qualifying science/quantitative subjects. The School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences' own USA-qualifications page requires AP Calculus at 4, OR AP Precalculus at 4 plus one further science/math AP at 4 -- a real two-route structure, not a single fixed AP. Reuses the existing Edinburgh SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from AAA to AAB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), no specific subjects required; IB: from 36 points with 665 at HL to 34 points with 655 at HL, English at SL 5

A substitution made during research: the originally-picked course, Divinity BD (Hons), redirected to Edinburgh's single-sign-on login wall and couldn't be reached (both its base and /entry-requirements addresses) -- a genuinely different failure mode from every other Edinburgh course checked, and not listed on unverified figures as a result. Social Anthropology MA was substituted after confirming its own entry-requirements page resolves normally, giving the AAA-AAB/IB 36 (665 HL) standard with no required subjects. The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences' own USA-qualifications page confirms no subject-specific AP add-on for Social Anthropology -- reuses Edinburgh's SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor (or three APs at 4+ alone). Filed under 'Humanities', the same reasoning already applied to Oxford's Archaeology and Anthropology and UCL's Archaeology. No UCAS code confirmed.

A-level: from AAA to AAB in one set of exams (Widening Access: ABB), no specific subjects required; IB: from 37 points with 666 at HL to 34 points with 655 at HL, English at SL 5

Edinburgh's own Sociology MA entry-requirements page confirms the AAA-AAB standard and no required subjects. The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences' own USA-qualifications page confirms no subject-specific AP add-on -- reuses Edinburgh's SAT 1290+/ACT 27+ base floor (or three APs at 4+ alone). Filed under 'International Relations & Politics' as the closest existing catch-all bucket for a standalone Sociology course, the same treatment LSE's Sociology entry already establishes. No UCAS code confirmed.

No direct requirement published

Edinburgh's official US country-page states a university-wide floor of SAT 1290+ (650+ Reading & Writing, 620+ Math) or ACT 27+, but flags that Medicine specifically requires at least 3 AP test scores at grade 5, with the SAT/ACT floor alone described as insufficient for this course. No direct SAT/ACT figure published here since the general floor isn't the real bar for Medicine and no course-specific SAT/ACT-equivalent-of-AP-5s figure was given. Medicine applicants must also sit the UCAT within the same year as their UCAS application; a Band 4 Situational Judgement score on the UCAT disqualifies the application outright. Kept at 'partial'.

A-level: AAA in one set of exams including Chemistry and Biology, both at A (Widening Access: AAB, same subjects); IB: 38 points with 666 at HL including Chemistry and Biology at HL 6 (Widening Access: 36 points with 665 at HL)

Edinburgh's own Veterinary Medicine BVM&S entry-requirements page confirms the AAA/IB 38 (666 HL) standard, the Chemistry-and-Biology subject requirement, and that selection includes an interview plus documented work/animal experience and a pre-start fitness-to-practise health questionnaire -- no UCAT is mentioned on this page, a real, confirmed contrast with the existing Edinburgh Medicine MBChB entry, which does require it. US-applicant AP/SAT/ACT figures are a genuine gap here: the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies' own vet.ed.ac.uk entry-requirements and 'Applicants from North America' pages wouldn't show their detailed content when checked, and two independent searches surfaced conflicting figures for the same programme (3 APs at grade 4+ including Chemistry/Biology/one other, vs. a GPA-3.4-plus-specific-pre-vet-college-courses route) -- neither independently confirmed, so no direct SAT/ACT figure is published rather than picking one unconfirmed figure over the other. Filed under 'Medicine & Health Sciences' -- Veterinary Medicine trains vets, not physicians, so no ECFMG sponsor-note lookup applies here, the same treatment as Cambridge's and Surrey's Veterinary Medicine entries.
