How to apply
International applicants
The University of Bristol welcomes applications from international students and accepts a wide range of qualifications for postgraduate study. If you study or have studied at a university outside the UK, please select the relevant page for further information on qualifications, scholarships and education representatives in your country/region: bristol.ac.uk/international/countries.
Entry requirements
You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree (or international equivalent) in any Engineering discipline, Computer Science, Mathematics or Physics. Applicants who have studied Chemistry will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Unfortunately this programme is not suitable for applicants who have studied Biology or any degree outside of Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics. If you are currently completing a degree, we understand that your final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades you have achieved during your studies to date. We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific module requirements would still apply. We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement. If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional relevant work experience or qualifications. If you have at least one of the following, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing: - Evidence of relevant work experience (minimum of 6 months full time, or 12 months part-time) within industry or other organisations where engineering, technology, science or mathematics-related knowledge is employed in the workplace, including: government, industrial or service sectors. - A relevant postgraduate qualification. See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
