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 3.2 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 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).
The programme is primarily aimed at graduates who have already encountered a significant amount of marketing material in their undergraduate degrees, or students who have completed management/business studies degrees that have captured marketing experience after their graduation. It is not a programme to introduce students to the subject; rather it aims to allow participants to enrich and to build on their existing knowledge as a base for a career in marketing management, or for further study at PhD level.
Applicants are expected to hold a good degree in Marketing or in a related business subject with a significant marketing component. Applicants with good degrees in other subjects with significant practical experience in marketing may also be considered where they are able to demonstrate a post-graduation intellectual interest and training/education in marketing. By good degree, we are looking for an Upper Second Class honours, or 3.2 GPA on a 4-point scale or an average of B+.
