Climate Change Finance and Investment MSc

Entrance to our MSc programmes is strongly competitive. You can increase your chances of a successful application by exceeding the minimum programme requirements.

Important points to note when applying for this programme

Academic requirements

You will need a UK first-class or 2:1 honours degree in one of the subjects below, or its international equivalent.

An undergraduate degree in business, economics, engineering or a social or physical science is normally required.

Candidates with a very good Honours degree in other areas of study or relevant work experience will be considered on an individual basis

Supporting your application

Relevant work experience is not required but may increase your chances of acceptance.

Preference will be given to those with grades above the minimum requirements and/or relevant work experience due to strong competition for places on this programme.

Exemptions

If you do not meet the minimum academic requirement, you may still be considered if you have 2 or more years of relevant work experience. We may require you to complete the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) or Graduate Records Examination (GRE) which are internationally-recognised assessments of analytical, numerical and verbal reasoning.

If we require you to take a GMAT Exam, we would require a minimum score of 555 in the current Focus Edition format, or a minimum score of 600 in the previous 10th Edition format. For GRE we would require a score of 315 as a minimum to qualify for our Climate Change and Investment MSc.

The GMAT and GRE are not a compulsory part of the application process, but if you have a score that you wish to report to us then this would be welcomed.*

We accept scores from GMAT Exams delivered both online and at test centres. (Revised 29 May 2025 to clarify the GMAT requirements.)
