A First Class Honours or above at undergraduate level in Economics, Finance or a related subject. Subjects such as Mathematics, Physics and Engineering may also be considered.

Other routes

We will also consider applications from MSc graduates in Economics and related disciplines, although it is not a requirement that applicants have completed an MSc.
Applicants already enrolled on a comparable advanced postgraduate degree at other institutions will be able to request to be considered through the Queen Mary Accreditation of Prior Learning Policy (following the standard University procedure) to enter part-way through the MRes programme.
Places will be allocated on a competitive basis - this means that meeting minimum entry requirement does not guarantee an offer of admission.
