Admission

At Guildhouse School, formerly known as CATS College London, international students are presented with a variety of programs to meet their educational needs and future goals. These programs include A Levels, the University Foundation Programme, and Academic English courses, each with specific entry requirements.

Undergraduate Programs

For A Levels, students are typically required to have completed secondary education, with subject-specific prerequisites dependent on the chosen A Level subjects. The University Foundation Programme mandates a minimum of 11 years of schooling and a strong academic record, serving as a transition from the student’s home country’s high school education to university in the UK. Academic English courses are designed to aid students in meeting the English language entry requirements for academic progression.

Postgraduate Programs

Although Guildhouse School doesn’t directly offer postgraduate programs, it provides support for students looking to apply to prestigious universities such as Oxford and Cambridge through A Level studies and scholarships like the Scholarship of Excellence, awarded to outstanding students who successfully apply to and enroll at the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge.

General Admission Information

Students typically begin A Level and Foundation programs at 16.5+ years for the September intake and 17+ years for the January intake. Non-native English speakers are required to demonstrate English proficiency, often through tests like IELTS. Strong academic records and academic reports may be prerequisites, and international students must meet UK visa requirements, including proof of financial support and parental consent if they are under 18.

Application Process

Guildhouse School offers an online application process, where applicants may need to prepare documents such as an English certificate, academic reports, and a copy of their passport. Prospective students can also contact the admissions team at admissions@guildhouseschool.com for detailed entry requirements and application assistance.

Scholarships

A Level students aiming for Oxford or Cambridge can avail themselves of the Scholarship of Excellence, providing reimbursement of course and accommodation fees upon acceptance and attendance. Additionally, CIFE Scholarships are offered, covering 20% of tuition fees, with a limited number of 40% scholarships for outstanding candidates. These scholarships may require English proficiency, excellent school reports, and a successful interview with senior college staff.
