Entry requirements
Strathclyde Business School is committed to supporting a diverse and inclusive postgraduate research population. We make decisions on entry by assessing the whole person and not relying solely on academic achievements. On that basis, please ensure that your application (via your CV and covering letter) can evidence your resourcefulness, commitment and resilience as demonstrated by broader professional and life experiences. This evidence should be centred on your ability to undertake and complete a PhD and contribute to a positive PhD community.
For entry into our postgraduate research programmes, we normally look for a first-class or upper second-class UK Honours degree or overseas equivalent, in a relevant business or social science related subject. For PhD applications, we also normally expect a Masters degree with distinction or merit or overseas equivalent, although there are often exceptions. We require clear coverage of Accounting and Finance subjects at undergraduate and/or Masters level. For Finance applicants, we expect clear coverage of quantitative/econometrics subjects in undergraduate and postgraduate courses. When reviewing your academic achievements, we're particularly interested in grades which relate to independent research (for example, a research project or dissertation). A strong score in these elements may allow us to consider entry with a lower degree classification.
