Understand how your qualifications meet our MSc entry requirements

Our MSc programmes welcome ambitious students from across the world. The guidance below explains the qualifications and grades we normally expect from applicants who have studied in different countries, helping you understand whether you are ready to apply.

Before applying, please review both the academic requirements for your country and the entry requirements for your chosen programme, as some programmes have additional criteria.

If the country in which you studied is not listed below, please refer to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s Country Index for the relevant minimum entry requirements. As admission to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School is competitive, we may require grades above ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s published minimum.

If you are currently completing an undergraduate degree, your current overall average should meet or exceed the grade shown below. This will demonstrate that you are on track to meet our academic requirements. If you receive an offer, you will need to provide confirmation that your final overall grade meets the conditions of your offer by the stated deadline.

We review this guidance regularly to ensure it remains accurate. However, qualifications and grading systems may change, and ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School cannot accept responsibility for changes or inaccuracies of which it has not been made aware.
