Which Universities Accept Students from Sylhet Directly?

International universities will accept your application directly (without needing to attend a foundation/pre-entry course); this guide is for you. “Direct admission” usually means your Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) + Secondary School Certificate (SSC) or equivalent qualifications are sufficient to apply for undergraduate programs abroad.

Below are universities that explicitly accept students from Bangladesh (including from Sylhet), plus things to check when assessing “directness.”

Universities Known to Accept Applications from Sylhet / Bangladesh

Here are some universities that mention Bangladesh country pages / Bangladesh-specific entry criteria, which implies they accept applicants from Sylhet (subject to meeting the academic requirements, English language requirements, etc.):

Things to Check Before You Apply (to Ensure “Direct” Admission)

Even when a university says it accepts applications from Bangladesh, there are still conditions to check to make sure you can apply directly (without needing a foundation or extra tests). Here are key things to verify:

1. Academic Thresholds 
   • HSC minimum grade/GPA; sometimes SSC + HSC combined. 
   • Some courses (especially competitive ones) may require higher grades. 
2. English Language Requirement 
   • IELTS, TOEFL, or sometimes the Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificates are accepted; you need to check if MOI is acceptable. 
3. Subject / Prerequisite Requirements 
   • For science, engineering, medicine, law, etc., you may need specific subject combinations in HSC/SSC. 
4. Whether the Course Itself Requires Foundation / Bridging 
   • For some universities, “direct admission” is possible only for certain courses; others may still require a foundation year. 
5. Agent / Application Route 
   • Sometimes universities require you to apply via an authorised agent in Bangladesh. That’s still “direct” in terms of academic acceptance, though not direct self-application. 
6. Deadlines / Visa Eligibility 
   • Make sure you apply before the deadline; it is sometimes conditional on visa/immigration policies.
     

What’s the Situation in Sylhet Specifically

• Students from Sylhet are generally treated like other Bangladeshi students, provided they meet the exam board/certificate standards. Many consultancies in Sylhet help students apply directly to the UK, Australia, etc. 
• Some universities have regional offices or agents in Bangladesh (including Sylhet) that facilitate direct admission. 

Suggested Universities to Research 

While I couldn’t find a definitive publicly published list that states “Sylhet applicants are accepted directly for this university without foundation for all courses,” the ones above are good bets. You might also look up:

• University of East Anglia, UK 
• University of Central Lancashire 
• Bournemouth University 
• Any Australian universities that accept HSC (if high scores) 
• Universities in Sweden, Denmark, etc., with “recognised foreign qualifications” policies
