General requirements

A 2:2 honours degree with a minimum of 55% or equivalent international qualification. It is helpful, but not essential, to have studied a subject with a quantitative element such as business, accounting, economics, mathematics, physics, engineering, chemistry, geography, computer science or data analytics.

We will consider applicants who have taken subjects that do not have a quantitative element but ask them to do some pre-course reading before the start of the programme.

No prior finance study is required. Applicants with relevant professional experience or professional qualifications would be welcomed.
