Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

To be considered for admission to a master's degree program at the University of Bristol, the minimum requirement for entry is an undergraduate (bachelor’s) degree that is equivalent to a UK upper second-class degree (also known as a 2:1). 

  • We understand that the majority of candidates from India have been taught in English throughout their education. Many departments will accept CBSE or CISCE English at 80% or above in lieu of another English test, with an MOI letter confirming that English is the teaching language of your institution.
  • The majority of our master’s programs require a first-class degree (60% or higher) from a recognized Indian University, with specific grades depending on the institution. Competitive programs may require first class with distinction. If you would like advice relating to your specific qualification, please contact us.
  • We are aware that at many of India's elite higher education colleges it is very rare to be awarded a first-class. For this reason, a number of our departments may be willing to consider candidates from top colleges who have achieved 55% or above.
  • Applicants wishing to be considered for a research study at Bristol should have a first-class pass in their Indian bachelor’s degree and some research experience. It may also be advantageous to have completed a master’s degree with research elements.
