The standard requirement for entry to a taught masters programme at Bristol is an undergraduate (Bachelor) degree that is equivalent to a UK Upper Second Class degree (also known as a 2:1). The majority of Masters programmes require a First Class degree (60% or higher) from a recognised Indian university, with specific grades depending on the institution. Competitive programmes may require a First Class with distinction. Many of India's elite higher education colleges it is very rare to be awarded a First Class. For this reason, a number of departments may be willing to consider candidates from top colleges who have achieved 55% or above. Applicants wishing to be considered for research study at Bristol should have a First Class pass in their Indian Bachelor degree and some research experience. It may also be advantageous to have completed a Masters degree with research elements
English Language Requirements
The majority of candidates from India have been taught in English throughout their education. A number of departments will therefore accept Year 12 English language grades of 70% to 80% in lieu of another English test such as IELTS. Students who do not have English as their first language, or who do not have an internationally recognised English qualification, will need to provide evidence of their English language ability.
The requirements may differ according to the course. Please refer to the university website for further details.
