Entry requirements

Students must attain a 2:2 (or overseas equivalent) in a Business, Finance, Economics, Mathematics, or Computer Science undergraduate degree. We would also be willing to consider those with other backgrounds and work experience in the sector. We consider all applications on their merits and will look at each individual case before making an offer so students who fall slightly short of the entry criteria should still apply to the School of Management.
