入学要求Entry requirements：
学术要求Academic qualifications:
We expect one of:
• A first- or upper second-class honours bachelor's degree from a UK university
• The equivalent from an overseas university
• a professional qualification which we judge to be at a comparable level.
Your degree can be in any subject that is not business or management. Our course is especially well-suited to students with a non-mathematical background. Arts, Humanities, and Social Science graduates are particularly welcome.
If you have already studied disciplines related to business and management, you may be eligible but only with a restricted range of electives. A conditional offer may be made based on your degree transcript. For example, if you have a BSc in Economics, an offer would be conditional on you not taking the Economics for Management & Business elective.
If you have already studied management and business, or have more than 18 months’ work experience, you will not be eligible to apply.
GMAT®
Candidates with certain overseas degrees, some professional qualifications, or postgraduate diplomas, may be required to take the GMAT®, to show a well-balanced score above the 80 percent level. If you are asked to take the GMAT, please make an early application and arrange for your results to be sent directly to WBS.
