In order to qualify for entry to master’s study at the University of Edinburgh, you must have a good degree from a highly ranked university in India.

Entry requirements will vary, depending on the intended programme of study. The minimum score you should have achieved is 60% or more /GPA of 8 on a 10 point scale in your Bachelor's study. However, as grading systems in India vary between institutions, it is important that you provide us with a copy of the grading scheme for your university so that we can assess whether your Bachelor’s degree meets this minimum. If you do not provide us with this information with your application, it may delay our assessment of your application.

Applicants who are considered to have met our minimum requirement may be considered for entry and will be measured competitively against other applicants. For many of our programmes, competition is high and in the majority of cases, a very high First Class degree will be required. Certain programmes will also have specific requirements in terms of both the overall degree result and strengths in particular subjects which are seen as relevant to that degree.
