To be considered for admission to a master's degree programme at the University of Bristol, the minimum requirement for entry is an undergraduate (bachelor’s) degree that is equivalent to a UK upper second-class degree (also known as a 2:1).
 

• We understand that the majority of candidates from India have been taught in English throughout their education. Many departments will accept CBSE or CISCE English at 80% or above in lieu of another English test, with an MOI letter confirming that English is the teaching language of your institution.
• The majority of our master’s programmes require a first class degree (60% or higher) from a recognised Indian university, with specific grades depending on the institution. Competitive programmes may require first class with distinction. If you would like advice relating to your specific qualification, 
• We are aware that at many of India's elite higher education colleges it is very rare to be awarded a first class. For this reason, a number of our departments may be willing to consider candidates from top colleges who have achieved 55% or above.
• Applicants wishing to be considered for research study at Bristol should have a first class pass in their Indian bachelor’s degree and some research experience. It may also be advantageous to have completed a master’s degree with research elements.
   

A good MSc degree (or international equivalent) in economics or in a very quantitative discipline (eg mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, computer science). We will also consider students with exceptional academic performance at undergraduate level (strong upper second-class honours with a final average of 65% or above (or international equivalent)) in an economics degree with a strong quantitative component or in a very quantitative discipline. Evidence of strong performance (minimum 2:1 or international equivalent) in Economics and/or Mathematics modules will also be required.
