Academic requirements

You will need a UK first-class or 2:1 honours degree from a good university in one of the subjects below, or its international equivalent.

An undergraduate degree in business, economics, engineering or a social or physical science is normally required.

Supporting your application

Relevant work experience is not required but may increase your chances of acceptance.
Preference will be given to those with grades above the minimum requirements due to strong competition for places on this programme.

Exemptions

If you do not meet the minimum academic requirement, you may still be considered if you have 2 or more years of relevant work experience. We may require you to complete the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) which is an internationally recognised assessment of analytical, numerical and verbal reasoning.

If we require you to take the GMAT, we would require a score of 600 as a minimum to qualify for our Climate Change Finance and Investment MSc. The GMAT is not a compulsory part of the application process, but if you have a score that you wish to report to us then this would be welcomed.

We will accept results from the GMAT Online exam.
