Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to Lower Second Class on the UK Honour scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on the UK Honour scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
Consideration will be given to all applicants with a minimum lower second class (2.2) honours degree from a British University or overseas equivalent in a subject related to computing or software engineering. Suitable subjects might include Computing, Computer Science or Software Engineering, joint degrees including one of these subjects, or possibly other science or mathematically based subjects that include significant amounts of computer science material.
In admitting individual students to the course, however, an important consideration is the student\xc2\x92s ability to benefit from the course and complete it satisfactorily. As a consequence, additional factors such as continuous professional development, training, and the current role of applicants or recent work experience may also be taken into account in individual cases.
All applicants are required to show competence in both written and spoken English; thus, overseas applicants whose first language is not English are normally required to have attained the equivalent of an IELTS score of at least 6.5 with 6.0 or above in each element prior to joining the course (more information on minimum scores for other language tests can be obtained from the admissions office).
English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
