Please read the Faculty's Entry Requirements and How to Apply pages before applying for this course.

The Faculty of Economics has high academic requirements and a large number of applicants that meet them. Applicants should have attained or expect to attain a high upper second-class undergraduate (or country equivalent) qualification in Economics. The degree should include standard courses in intermediate level Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Econometrics (a Business Studies, Accountancy or Management degree or qualification does not provide an adequate background). If you do not meet the criteria listed below, it is unlikely you will be offered a place.

Applicants from UK universities: an undergraduate degree with a minimum of a high 2.1 (average grade over 68%).

Applicants from North American institutions: an undergraduate degree with a GPA of at least 3.6 out of 4 or the equivalent.

Applicants from other educational systems: an undergraduate degree (or country equivalent) where the applicant is within the top ten per cent of their reference group.

Applicants whose previous university training has been in countries outside the UK or part of the University of London International Programme MUST submit the results of a recent GRE test. Please note that failure to upload a GRE Test (if required) will result in the automatic withdrawal of the application. For more information, please see the Faculty's website here or contact us via email.

In addition, applicants are strongly encouraged to include supporting information of their ranking within each academic year.
