Entry requirements

We require a First or Upper Second class honours degree (2:1, with 60% average) from a UK university or the overseas equivalent. You need a degree in accounting or overseas equivalent. Excellent results in accounting subjects are preferable, although a relevant and advanced UK professional accounting qualification (or overseas equivalent) will also be considered; We also consider applicants studying degrees in business administration, business management or commerce or economics. Due to competition for places, we give preference to applicants with an undergraduate degree in accounting; You need to demonstrate a very strong background in accounting throughout your degree, and a final year major or specialisation in accounting will also be considered. We highly recommend GMAT or GRE and anticipate a well-balanced score with a strong performance in the quantitative sections.
