For top UK universities, you typically need a minimum of 55% to 60% in your four-year bachelor’s degree to be eligible. However, more competitive programs or prestigious universities may require 65% or higher.

- Academic requirements can vary by university and course.
- Top-tier universities often expect higher percentages.
- IELTS: Most require a score of 6.0 - 6.5; highly ranked universities may ask for 7.0.
- Other factors like your statement of purpose and letters of recommendation are also considered.
