You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent in Mathematics, Engineering, Data Science, Computer Science, Physics or another quantitative subject.
If your degree subject is not listed above, you will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent which includes three different units of mathematics or quantitative units (see Maths qualification requirements below) with 2:1 or equivalent in each unit. A-level Maths at Grade A may be acceptable for a non-quantitative degree.
If you are currently completing a degree, we understand that your final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades you have achieved during your studies to date.
We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific module requirements would still apply.
We will also consider your application if your grades are slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements, if you have at least one of the following:
evidence of significant (minimum of two years in a paid role) relevant work experience such as data analysis, economics modelling, data informed policy making.a postgraduate qualification.If this is the case, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing details of your relevant qualifications. Specific module requirements would still apply.
See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
