A Level 8 honours degree (India: a 3‑ or 4‑year bachelor’s) with minimum 2:2 class (i.e. ~55–60 %) in a cognate discipline—such as Business, Finance, Economics, Accounting, Computing, IT, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics or related field. If your bachelor’s is non‑cognate, you must have at least 1–2 years’ relevant industry experience, otherwise your application may not be accepted. In GPA terms this is roughly a minimum 2.2 on a 4.0 scale (~2.0 at lowest pass, 3.0 = Merit 1, etc.)—international conversions recognise equivalently.
