Other requirements

General requirements

You will typically need a strong MSc degree (65% or above) or international equivalent in Economics, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Computer Science or other very quantitative-based subjects. Evidence of strong performance (minimum merit/2.1 or international equivalent) in Economics and/or Mathematics modules will also be required. For this programme, recent study (within the last 5 years) is usually required, though if your most recent study was slightly over 5 years ago, your application will still be considered by the academic tutor.

Students with a strong upper second-class honours undergraduate degree (65% or higher) or international equivalent in Finance may also be considered.
