Applicants from Pakistan

The ISC page lists no Pakistan grades and refers to a country-specific PDF that could not be opened. The London Met Pakistan page separately states, for a four-year degree with a foundation year, 'Second division (65% plus) in Intermediate Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSCC) or Federal Secondary Certificate (FSC)', or a Diploma of Associate Engineer with minimum grade 75%. It was not confirmed that this refers to this programme, so no structured Pakistan fields are set. Source
