Expected Academic Standard
Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK Masters (Pass).
If your degree is not from the UK, please check International Qualifications to find the equivalent in your country.
Important (please read)
Please note that the University's International Qualifications equivalency table only applies to your three-year or four-year bachelor's degree, and does not provide you with the equivalency of a UK master's degree or a UK "integrated master's" (honours) degree. For students who only hold a bachelor's degree, a master's degree is normally required as well.
The Faculty Board of Physics and Chemistry normally requires applicants to have achieved the equivalent of a UK master's (pass). This requirement is in addition to satisfying the University minimum academic requirement. Applicants should obtain the equivalent of:
- at least a II.i in a UK four-year "integrated master's" (honours) degree, OR
- at least a II. in a UK three-year bachelor's (honours) degree plus a relevant one/two-year UK master's degree.
