Expected Academic Standard

Applicants for this course should have achieved a First class Honours Degree.

If your degree is not from the UK, please check International Qualifications to find the equivalent in your country.

A degree in a discipline with a strong quantitative orientation (e.g. engineering, economics, operations research, statistics, mathematics, physics, computer science, or a similar course) will be expected. Students are required to have degree-level courses in calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics.

For the Organisational Behaviour specialisation, someone with a Psychology degree would also be acceptable as long as they did well in their undergraduate statistics courses. For the Strategic Management specialisation, someone with a degree in sociology, psychology, business, or management would also be acceptable provided they did well in their undergraduate statistics courses.
