Eligibility criteria
Academic Requirements:
Strong and consistent academic performance and expect applicants to have high grades at undergraduate and Master's level, including a strong dissertation.
From graduates of UK institutions, this would normally equate to a combination of at least an Upper Second Class Honours degree at undergraduate level and a Master's degree awarded with Merit or Distinction.
We will consider candidates holding a strong First Class Honours undergraduate degree, without a Master's, if accompanied by very strong academic references and outstanding CV and personal statement.
GMAT/GRE requirement:
We expect applicants to have obtained strong scores across all elements of the exam. We consider strong scores to be in the 90th percentile or higher in either test.
