A Level 8 honours bachelor’s degree (equivalent to an Irish honours degree) at a minimum of Second Class Honours, Grade 2 (2:2) in a business, finance, economics or related cognate discipline such as engineering, mathematics, science, or commerce. Applicants with other relevant degrees plus strong quantitative background may be considered. Indian applicants typically need a three‑year honours or four‑year bachelor’s degree with first division (55–70 %) overall; full semester-wise mark sheets mandatory (consolidated alone is insufficient). A CGPA of around 3.0/4.0 (≈7/10) or an Indian equivalent of 55–70 % is expected as a minimum. Subject prerequisites: applicants are expected to have studied quantitative subjects (e.g. statistics, calculus, financial accounting, economics, mathematics) during their bachelor’s—it’s especially helpful for non‑business graduates to show exposure to maths/statistics or similar. Relevant professional qualifications or work experience may strengthen the application and be considered in lieu of exact academic background in some cases.
