Accounting and Finance University of Strathclyde

General requirements

• For entry onto our postgraduate research programmes, we normally look for a first-class or upper second-class UK Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in a relevant business or social science related subject.
• For PhD applications, we also normally expect a Masters degree, or overseas equivalent, although there are often exceptions. For technical social subjects, such as Accounting/Finance, in addition to Accounting/Finance/Economics subjects, we also expect decent coverage of quantitative/econometrics subjects in the undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
• When reviewing your academic achievements, we're particularly interested in grades which relate to independent research (for example, a research project or dissertation). A strong score in these elements may allow us to consider entry with a lower degree classification.
