Qualification Requirements
For entry into our postgraduate research programmes, we normally look for a first-class or upper second-class UK Honours degree or overseas equivalent, in a relevant business or social science related subject. For PhD applications, we also normally expect a Masters degree with distinction or merit or overseas equivalent, although there are often exceptions. We require clear coverage of Accounting and Finance subjects at undergraduate and/or Masters level. For Finance applicants, we expect clear coverage of quantitative/econometrics subjects in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. When reviewing your academic achievements, we're particularly interested in grades which relate to independent research (for example, a research project or dissertation). A strong score in these elements may allow us to consider entry with a lower degree classification.
If English isn't your first language, you'll need an IELTS score of 6.5 or equivalent with no individual element below 5.5.
