Each program has different prerequisites for admission. For information on specific prerequisites, please refer to our lists for postgraduate programs. The minimum prerequisite for admission to the University of Bristol's master's degree program is normally an undergraduate degree from an accredited university that is equal to a UK upper second-class degree (sometimes called a 2:1). A UK upper second-class degree is seen as being equivalent to a CGPA of 3.3 or higher. Candidates with a one-year master's degree from the UK or a two-year master's degree from the US will be given consideration for admission to the PhD program. It is necessary to submit a research proposal.
