Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
- We normally look for a UK bachelor degree with first or upper second class honours or the overseas equivalent, with excellent results in finance and economics subjects.
- When assessing your academic record, we take into account your grade average, position in class, references and the standing of the institution where you studied your qualification.
- You need to have studied a degree in economics, finance or business studies. You must have taken a significant number of economics, finance and quantitative courses during your degree to at least second year undergraduate level (third year for four year degree courses, but accounting courses are not considered to be finance), and a major or specialisation in economics in your final year. You must demonstrate a solid background in quantitative skills, econometrics or maths.
- Applicants studying degrees in business administration, business management or commerce, can be considered but must be able to demonstrate a very strong background in economics and finance throughout their degree and a final year major or specialisation in economics (as outlined above). Due to competition for places, preference will be given to applicants with a bachelor degree in economics or finance.
- We highly recommend GMAT or GRE for applications to all our accounting and finance related programmes. We anticipate a well-balanced score with a strong performance in the quantitative sections.
English Proficiency: IELTS 7 or equivalent.
