For entry onto our postgraduate research programmes, we normally look for a first-class or upper second-class UK Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in a relevant business or social science related subject. For applications for MPhil and PhD study in Economics we also normally expect a Masters degree in Economics, or overseas equivalent, that includes core classes in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics and a dissertation or research project. When reviewing your academic achievements, we're particularly interested in grades which relate to independent research (for example, your research project or dissertation). A strong score in these elements may allow us to consider entry with a lower degree classification.
