Here are the typical minimum academic requirements for master's admissions in major study destinations:

- UK: Bachelor's degree with 60 - 69% (2:1); some accept 50 - 59% (2:2) if you have strong work experience or extra qualifications.
- USA: Bachelor's degree with 60 - 75%.
- Canada: Bachelor's degree with 70% or above.
- Australia: Bachelor's degree with 60 - 65%.
- Germany: Bachelor's degree with 70% or equivalent (2.5 GPA on German scale).
- France: Bachelor's degree with 55%.
- Netherlands: Bachelor's degree with 55 - 75% (2.5 GPA on Dutch scale).
- Spain: Bachelor's degree with 55%.
- Ireland: Bachelor's degree with 60 - 65% (2:1); some accept 50 - 59% (2:2) with strong work experience or extra qualifications.

These are general guidelines and can vary by university or program. Work experience or other credentials may help if your percentage is lower.
