We require a First or Upper Second class honours degree (2:1, with 60% average) from a UK university or the overseas equivalent. You need a degree in accounting or overseas equivalent. Excellent results in accounting subjects are preferable, although a relevant and advanced UK professional accounting qualification (or overseas equivalent) will also be considered. We also consider applicants studying degrees in business administration, business management or commerce or economics. Due to competition for places, we give preference to applicants with an undergraduate degree in accounting. You need to demonstrate a very strong background in accounting throughout your degree, and a final year major or specialisation in accounting will also be considered. We highly recommend GMAT or GRE and anticipate a well-balanced score with a strong performance in the quantitative sections.
