Frequently asked questions

See answers to some frequently asked questions about UCL's Economics and Policy of Energy and the Environment MSc.

What are the entry requirements for this programme?

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline (economics, economics-plus, a science or engineering subject) or an equivalent overseas qualification is usually required.

A non-quantitative degree may be considered provided that some aptitude (e.g. at A level) has been demonstrated for quantitative analysis.

These requirements may be relaxed for students who can demonstrate professional aptitude and experience.
