UK universities generally check these eligibility criteria for master's applications:
- Academic qualifications: A recognized bachelor’s degree in a relevant field. Most require at least a 2:2 (about 50 - 59% in India); more competitive programs may need a 2:1 (about 60 - 69%).
- English language proficiency: Usually an IELTS score of 6.5 overall, with no band below 6.0, if English is not your first language.
- Additional requirements: Some courses may ask for relevant work experience, GMAT/GRE scores (especially for MBAs), a personal statement, letters of recommendation, and a resume.
Requirements vary by university and program.
