London Met's BSc International Business Management: Entry Requirements and Fees for Nepali Students

London Metropolitan University's Holloway campus opened a new January 2027 undergraduate intake for its BSc (Hons) International Business Management, and the entry criteria are more flexible than most UK degree routes Nepali students are used to - worth explaining properly rather than leaving families to guess at requirements from a WhatsApp forward. DIRECT ENTRY, NOT A FOUNDATION YEAR This is a direct-entry bachelor's route: a three-year full-time degree (part-time also available), no foundation year required for most Nepali +2-equivalent students, with January 2027 and September intakes both open. The academic bar is comparatively light - Grade 10 (SEE) Mathematics grade B or better, or an internal maths test for students who don't have it - and a documented academic gap year is accepted rather than penalised, which matters for the many Nepali applicants who take time between +2 and applying abroad. ENGLISH REQUIREMENT - TWO ROUTES Most Nepali students assume they need to sit IELTS before they can apply anywhere in the UK. London Met offers a waiver route here: a B+ or better in Grade 12 (NEB) English exempts a student from a separate English test entirely. Without that grade, the standard test requirements are IELTS 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, PTE Academic 59 overall with 59 minimum per section, or Duolingo English Test 105 overall with 95 minimum per section - all comparatively achievable next to some competitor universities' 6.5+ requirements. FEES AND SCHOLARSHIPS Tuition is currently listed at approximately GBP 17,600 per year for international students. This figure comes from a course-comparison source and has not yet been cross-checked against London Met's own fee calculator, so treat it as indicative until it's confirmed with a counsellor at application. Two things can offset it: a GBP 5,000 "Country Bright Futures" scholarship plus a 5% early-payment discount, and a 20% alumni-linked scholarship for applicants with a family member who is a London Met graduate. WHO THIS SUITS A three-year direct-entry route with a realistic English bar and Grade 10-level maths as the main academic gate is a genuinely accessible option for Nepali +2 completers who want International Business Management specifically, rather than a general business degree - particularly students who don't have IELTS yet or whose Grade 12 English result is strong enough to skip it altogether. As always, confirm current fees, deposit amounts, and exact scholarship terms directly with a counsellor before committing, since partner-sourced figures like these get updated as the university confirms them.
