Academic requirements

If you apply for a Postgraduate research programme, you will generally need to hold at least a UK honours bachelor degree at the second class upper division (2:1), and/or a master degree at merit level or above in a relevant subject from a British university. 

For applicants with a degree from the USA, the minimum GPA sought is 3.0 out of 4.0.

For applicants with a degree from China, the minimum weighted average score varies from 78 to 83 , depending on the university where they studied. 

When applying, please provide your final grade in the format used by the previous university attended (e.g. 80/100, 3.0/4.0, 7.5/10 or 10/12). There is no need to convert your result into its UK equivalent.

Please note that admission to UNNC is very competitive and that meeting the minimum entry requirements does not guarantee an offer of a place. 

For particular requirements regarding certain programmes, please refer to the department/school page.
