Entry to graduate diploma or taught Masters programmes usually requires either a UK upper second-class (2:1) or a lower second-class (2:2) undergraduate degree. For most courses, your major subject or content of your Bachelor degree may also be considered. Please check our Course Finder for detailed entry requirements.
UK Upper Second-Class Honours (2:1)
A good Bachelor degree (Haksa) from a recognised university with 80-89% (B/B+).
Typical GPA requirements are 3.0 out of 4.0, 3.3 out of 4.3, or 3.5 out of 4.5.
UK Lower Second-Class Honours (2:2)
A good Bachelor degree (Haksa) from a recognised university with 70-79% (C/C+).
Typical GPA requirements are 2.6 out of 4.0, 2.8 out of 4.3, or 3.0 out of 4.5.

Supporting Documentation
When submitting your application, please ensure that you upload copies of official transcripts for completed programmes as well as those currently in progress. Degree award certificates for programmes already complete should also be provided.
Borderline Cases
Sometimes, it may be possible to exercise flexibility in the case of applicants who have completed their degree with slightly lower grades than those outlined in their offer letter. In these cases, the decision will be at the discretion of the Academic Selector.
On completion of your degree, please forward a copy of your official transcript and award certificate to intl.student@qub.ac.uk to confirm the award of your qualification and the overall grade. Unfortunately, we cannot advise you further until we receive this documentation.
