Indian qualifications
Typically, we require a Bachelor degree with a final overall result of at least First Class. However, due to the number of different grading scales in use, we ask that you upload a copy of the grading scale used by your institution, along with your transcript, when you submit your application.

Type of degree
 

• 2:1 or above (or international equivalent) undergraduate degree. Your degree can be in any discipline but you must have studied a subject with quantitative content.
• Such subjects include engineering, mathematics, economics and physics. We may consider other subjects if they have enough quantitative content.
• If you are a UK student and completed your undergraduate degree abroad, your qualification must be equivalent to a 2:1 or above.
• We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree.

Work experience
In exceptional cases, relevant work experience may be a substitute for the degree requirement. You should have no more than three years’ relevant work experience.
