Our standard postgraduate entry requirement is a second-class honours degree (2:2 or above) from a UK university, or an equivalent international qualification.
Please find details of entry requirements and equivalencies for over 120 countries worldwide.
We will review every postgraduate application to Birkbeck on its individual merits and your professional qualifications and/or relevant work experience will be taken into consideration positively. We actively support and encourage applications from mature learners.
On your application form, please list all your relevant qualifications and experience, including those you expect to achieve.
Apply now to secure your place and allow enough time for the application and enrolment process. You do not need to have completed your current qualification to start your application.
If English is not your first language or you have not previously studied in English, our usual requirement is the equivalent of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic Test) score of 6.5, with not less than 6.0 in each of the sub-tests.
If you don't meet the minimum IELTS requirement, we offer pre-sessional English courses and foundation programmes to help you improve your English language skills and get your place at Birkbeck.
If you wish to pursue a career in accounting, or require knowledge of accounting in your role as a budget holder, our MSc Accounting and Financial Management provides a thorough understanding of the key areas of accounting and financial management for non-accounting graduates.
We seek students from business/management, accounting and finance, or those with a quantitative background. Because our students come from such a variety of backgrounds and range in age and experience, you will find our class discussions a stimulating arena in which to explore new ideas and topics.
Strong emphasis is placed on analysis and interpretation using case study and live company analysis.
