Entry Requirements

Entrance Requirements

Applicants are normally required to have an undergraduate Honours degree, the equivalent of a UK Honours degree, upper second class, in any discipline (except business or management) from a suitably quality-assured university.

We welcome applications from a diverse range of applicants so will also consider previous work experience alongside academic qualifications. We encourage applicants to submit a detailed CV.

Applicants who lack the prerequisite academic qualification or equivalent may be required to achieve an appropriate score (600+) in the GMAT and/or attend an interview.

International applicants should also have one of the following:

  • An IELTS score of 6.5 with not less than 5.5 in each of the four component elements of listening, reading, speaking and writing, taken within the last 2 years
  • A TOEFL score of 575+ (paper based) or 90+ (internet based), taken within the last 2 years
  • 65% in the INTO English Language Exit Test
  • An alternative English Language qualification recognised by Queen’s University Belfast
  • A first or good second class Honours degree from a university based in the UK, Republic of Ireland or other suitably quality-assured location where the medium of instruction is English.
