General requirements

We require a First or Upper Second class honours degree (2:1, with 60% average) from a UK university or the overseas equivalent.

You need a degree in accounting or overseas equivalent. Excellent results in accounting subjects are preferable, although a relevant and advanced UK professional accounting qualification (or overseas equivalent) will also be considered

You need to demonstrate a very strong background in accounting throughout your degree, and a final year major or specialisation in accounting will also be considered.

We highly recommend GMAT or GRE and anticipate a well-balanced score with a strong performance in the quantitative sections.
