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.

• 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.

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.
