Postgraduate Taught Programs
A good degree, usually a 2.8 GPA (out of 4) or higher, from a recognised university in a relevant subject is normally required for a postgraduate taught degree. Equivalent qualifications will also be considered.
Note: many subjects that are postgraduate qualifications in Canada are undergraduate qualifications in the UK, including law, optometry, pharmacy, physiotherapy and more. Therefore, if you are interested in one of these courses, you need to follow the advice for undergraduate entry.
Postgraduate Research Programs
A good degree, at least a 2.8 GPA (out of 4.0), from a recognised university in a relevant subject is normally required for a postgraduate research degree. Most Schools may also require a master's degree.
