Entry requirements

We welcome applications from talented candidates of all backgrounds and each application is considered on its individual merit. Usually candidates must hold either a:

First or second class UK hours degree in a relevant discipline (e.g. accounting, finance or business), or an international qualification of a standard equivalent to a First or second UK honours degree.
Candidates’ prior degree must include a quantitative methods module, or a thesis with significant elements of quantitative methods.

Applicants who do not have a degree in accounting, finance or a related business discipline can apply, provided they can demonstrate a passion for a career in accounting, finance or banking.

We accept a range of qualifications from different countries – learn more about international entry requirements.
