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 Upper 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).
Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK High II.i Honours Degree.
Graduate work in Cambridge is intense and very intellectually demanding and so the University has high academic entry requirements. Academic requirements will vary from course to course, and you should check the individual course entry in the course directory for the course specific requirements. You are normally expected to hold or to have acheived by the start of your course:
- At least a 2i honours degree from a UK university or an equivalent standard from an overseas university; and
- Completion of, or release from, any current training or education course.
A directory on international qualifications that meet the University\'s minimum academic requirement may be found in the International section of our website.
Applicants should be aware that meeting the University\xc2\x92s or Department\xc2\x92s minimum academic requirements does not guarantee entry; it is only one of the factors taken into account when selectors make their decision. Many other factors are also important, such as: suitability for the course, proficiency in English, relevant experience, references, availability of a suitable supervisor, and the ratio of available places.
English Proficiency: IELTS 7 or equivalent.
