What are the entry requirements and what qualifications do you accept?
If you intend to apply for a Master's degree at Imperial, the minimum requirement is a UK Lower Second Class Honours degree. The majority of programmes have higher requirements, usually a minimum of a UK Upper Second Class Honours. Please see the webpage for your chosen course for details.
For admission to a PhD, MPhil, MD (Res) or EngD research programme, Imperial would normally expect you to hold or achieve a Master's degree, in addition to a Bachelor's degree at UK Upper Second Class Honours Level.
Meeting the academic requirements for your course of interest does not automatically guarantee entry.
While your academic profile is an important factor which admissions tutors use to make their decision, other factors such as suitability for the course, proficiency in English (you will need to have passed a university-approved English test), relevant work experience and references are also important.
