Hiya, are you looking for an Undergraduate course?
It might help if you told us the type of qualifications you hold. :smile:

For UK Unis at least, they'll have entry requirements specified on the webpage for each of their courses and then a separate page somewhere else with lots of information about qualifications from different countries, so sometimes this information can be quite difficult to find. :redface:

Please don't share email details or documents etc. for your own privacy. :hand:

If you could just tell me which country your certificate is from I should be able to have a look at what universities in the UK might need. I can't help too much with US.

Thanks,

So as an example, at Southampton Solent University, there's a BA Journalism course (see here). For students from Kenya, Solent say the following:

Entry requirements
As a general guide, we look for qualifications that are equivalent to the British high school A-levels. A portfolio is also required for most of our art and design courses.
Students should hold a university diploma.
Students with a Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) with grades C and above may apply for a foundation year (level 0 of a bachelor's degree).
For postgraduate courses, we look for qualifications that are equivalent to the British bachelor's degree.

See here: https://www.solent.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/journalism-ba

If you have a Certificate in Journalism from a university or other college in Kenya, it might be possible for you to study the BA course in the UK from the first year of the bachelor's (so, year 1) rather than having to do the foundation year (year 0), but this would be at the discretion of each university.

If we choose a slightly more competitive university than Southampton Solent, there is the BA Journalism course at Portsmouth (see here)

Portsmouth say this about students applying from Kenya:

If you're joining us from Kenya, the entry requirements you need to meet will depend on the course you want to study.
We consider all applications we receive. However, to make sure you get the most out of your time studying with us and have the best chance of applying successfully, we recommend the following minimum qualifications:
Foundation courses
If you take the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE - 5 credits including Mathematics and English language) you'll usually need to do a foundation year before doing an undergraduate course such as a Bachelor's degree.
We recommend you take a foundation course at our associated college International College Portsmouth (ICP).
Undergraduate courses
We'll consider you for admission onto an undergraduate course such as a Bachelor's degree if you have the following:
- Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE - 5 credits including Mathematics and English Language) or
- the East African Certificate of Education (EACE) or Kenya Certificate of Education (KCE)
and a minimum of 3 subjects in:
- Cambridge Overseas Higher School Certificate (COHSC) or
- East African Advanced Certificate of Education (EAACE) or
- Kenya Advanced Certificate of Education (KACE), awarded until 1989
or a minimum of 'C' credit overall in:
- Diploma / Ordinary Diploma / Ordinary Technician Diploma
- University Diploma / Diploma
