Distance MSc in Operational Research - Entry Requirements

Academic

Applicants for the Certificate or Diploma normally hold at least the equivalent of a UK pass degree, although alternative qualifications will also be considered.

Applicants for the MSc normally hold a degree equivalent to a 1st or 2nd class UK Honours Degree. Most students’ first degree is in mathematics, natural sciences, or engineering. However, we also encourage applicants with social science/business degrees who have demonstrated a grasp of mathematics/statistics.

English Language

Where an applicant's mother tongue is English, or the first degree was done at an institution with English as its language of communication, there is no special requirement. For others the University normally requires a minimum TOEFL score of 600, 6.5 in IELTS, or 250 in a computer based TOEFL test.
