Qualifying courses

You may be asked to complete a programme of qualifying studies in any of the following cases:

• if the main subject of your first degree is not directly relevant to your proposed postgraduate programme
• if you did not reach a high enough standard in your first degree
• if you do not have a first degree and wish to move into academic study from a professional or technical qualification

Qualifying programmes usually comprise two or more modules from the final year of the relevant BA or BSc programme. Modules are chosen to match the needs of the student.

Please note: the Department of Economics, Mathematics and Statistics asks all its ‘conversion’ students to follow the appropriate Graduate Diploma programme before admission to its MSc programmes in economics or finance.
