MSc
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | You will typically need a strong upper second-class honours degree (65% or higher) or an international equivalent in Mathematics or a very closely related subject such as Mathematical Physics / Maths and Statistics / Statistics and Maths / Maths and Applied Maths / Applied Maths and Maths. A joint honours degree in Mathematics, such as Maths with Economics / Finance / Physics / Statistics / Computer Science / Philosophy etc. may be considered if there is sufficient theoretical mathematics content at 65% (or international equivalent). If you are currently completing a degree, we understand that your final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades you have achieved during your studies to date. We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific module requirements would still apply. We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement. If you have a relevant postgraduate qualification from one of the accepted subjects listed above, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing details of your relevant qualifications. Specific module requirements would still apply. See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/international/countries/ |
