学术要求：
We expect one of:
• A first- or upper second-class honours bachelor's degree from a United Kingdom university
• The equivalent from an overseas university
• a professional qualification which we judge to be at a comparable level.
Background
First degrees are typically, although not exclusively, in a subject such as economics, business/management, engineering, psychology, geography, sociology, or political science. If you have an arts degree you may also be considered, providing you can clearly demonstrate strong analytical skills.
We gauge your analytical ability from your first degree although we may also request further evidence. As most analytic consulting involves different forms of quantitative analysis, you must be comfortable with numbers. Candidates may in some circumstances be required to take the GRE. If you are asked to take the test, please make an early application and arrange for your results to be sent directly to WBS.
If your background is mathematics, statistics, or the sciences you can still apply to us, but you may also wish to consider our MSc in Management Science & Operational Research.
英语要求：
If English is not your first language, you must demonstrate oral and written fluency in English. We accept:
• IELTS test score of at least 7.5
• TOEFL test score of at least 630 (paper-based), 267 (computer-based), or 109 (internet-based).
We will require your language certificates as evidence. Ideally your test should be less than two years old.
学费 Tuition Fee：The fee for 2011-2012 overseas students is £16,500 full-time
