Academic & GPA Requirements: You need a Second Class Honours Grade I (2H1) in an NFQ Level 8 bachelor’s degree (≈ 3.2/4.0 GPA or 66–74% in Indian grading) in a quantitatively strong field such as: Computer Science, Mathematical Sciences (Stats/Math), Engineering, Finance, Physics, Economics, or Biosciences—with strong numeracy content and module grades at or above 2H2 level. UCC may also consider applicants with a broader degree if academic transcripts demonstrate sufficient quantitative modules at a 2H2 standard.
