Other requirements

General requirements

Normally a minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline (economics, economics-plus, a science or engineering subject) or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.

A non-quantitative degree may, however, be considered, provided that aptitude is demonstrated for quantitative analysis, e.g. through some undergraduate modules, and/or through A levels or overseas equivalents.

These requirements may be relaxed for students who can demonstrate considerable and relevant aptitude and experience, for example, in business or government.

Please clearly state in your personal statement how your educational or employment background (including any internships or projects) relates to the programme and what you aim to achieve through your studies.
