International Qualification Recognition

[Thsharp01]

Good morning,

I was wondering if anybody here had any knowledge on international qualification recognition for students wanting to study in the UK, preferably with any information regarding the Polish education system. This is in regards to what it would take to study for an undergraduate degree BA(Hons), and how the entry requirements translate.

I know i'm being a little vague, but if anybody does know anything about this subject, i could possibly go into more detail.

Thank you.

Thank you for the swift reply. I have been in touch with the University of Central Lancashire, and they have provided me with the following information. Just to inform you, this is not for myself.

Diploma (in professional fields from a Szkoly Pomaturalne) Is considered comparable to BTEC / SQA Higher National Certificate (HNC) standard
Licencjat / Inzynier Is considered comparable to BTEC / SQA Higher National Diploma (HND) standard / Foundation degree standard

Swiadectwo Dojrzalosci / Matura Is considered comparable to the overall GCE Advanced / Scottish Advanced Higher standard

Swiadectwo Dojrzalosci Technikum (Technical Matura from a Technikum or Liceum Zawodowe) Is considered comparable to Advanced Vocational Certificate of Education (AVCE) / BTEC National Diploma standard

Swiadectwo Ukonczenia Szkoly Zasadniczej (Certificate of Completion of Basic Vocational School) Is considered comparable to VGCSE (grades A*-C) / BTEC First Diploma / SQA Intermediate 2 standard

Swiadectwo Ukonczenia Technikum / Swiadectwo Ukonczenia Liceum Technicznego (Certificate of Completion of Technikum or Technical Liceum) Is considered comparable to a standard between BTEC First Diploma and BTEC National Diploma (May require the completion of a foundation year for entry to higher education in the UK)

Technik (Technician) / Dyplom Ukonczenia Szkoly Policealne (Diploma of completion of Szkoly Policealne) Is considered comparable to Advanced Vocational Certificate of Education (AVCE) / BTEC National Diploma standard

If you have a look at the bold text, that is the one that i think applies to the qualification that i think the person i am researching this for will have. However, i have no idea what GCE Advanced / Scottish Advanced Standard Higher is, can you get into University with just this qualification? I can't quite understand the UCAS website.

Edit: It looks like wikipedia are saying an A for the Scottish Advanced Standard Higher qualification is worth 120 UCAS points, can anybody confirm this? Thanks
