Postgraduate
Entry to a Master programme usually requires the equivalent of a 2:2 (Second Class Honours) British degree, which equates to a USA degree of:
- Bachelor’s degree (unweighted GPA: 3.0+) from an accredited university or college in a relevant subject
Postgraduate programmes at the University of Aberdeen and other British universities do not generally require standardised tests such as the GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT etc. Instead, applicants are assessed on the merit and relevance of their undergraduate studies, as well as references and personal statement.
