Contact a student recruitment coordinator to learn more.

Application checklist:

  • Personal statement
  • Curriculum vitae
  • A copy of your most recent academic transcript and a copy of your degree certificate
  • One academic and/or professional reference
  • English language results or certificates (if applicable)

Qualifications and requirements

  • Typically, you should have a first or second class bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent
  • To apply for this course, you must have an undergraduate degree in a subject with high quantitative content such as mathematics/statistics, computer science, engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, economics, or a quantitative social science. We may consider other subjects if they have enough quantitative content
  • You must also have fluency in one general-purpose programming language, such as C++, C#, Java, Visual Basic, or Python. This does not include web development languages such as HTML or PHP

Personal statement

We request that you submit a personal statement as part of your application. This is an opportunity for you to say why you want to apply and what you hope to achieve from the course. Read this article for guidance and tips on how to write your personal statement. Our application form includes more information about this requirement. Alternatively, contact our admissions team for details.

Curriculum vitae (CV) or résumé

You will also need to supply an up-to-date CV, listing any relevant professional experience, including job titles, dates and full-time or part-time status. This helps us to ensure you have the necessary entry requirements and the appropriate background for the course you’re looking to study.

International students

If your first language is not English, you must have passed IELTS with a grade of at least 7.0 overall and no less than 6.5 for any of the four parts (listening, reading, writing, speaking). However, if English is not your first language, but you have completed the whole of your undergraduate studies in the UK, you are exempt from IELTS requirements. Alternatively, you can sit a Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic) or a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) exam.
