Academic entry requirements for masters degrees

In order to apply for a Master's degree at the University of Edinburgh you would be expected to have completed at least 4 years of study at a good institution, and obtain a Licenciatura.

Typically, the minimum entry requirement for our masters programmes is the international equivalent of a UK 2:1 honours degree. However, entry requirements vary between degree programmes, and some may require the equivalent of a First Class degree or previous study in a specific subject.  

You should check you have the necessary qualifications before applying. Find the specific entry requirements for your chosen programme in our degree finder.

Each application is considered individually as the personal statement is also an important part of the application. Where relevant, work experience may also be considered.

Academic entry requirements for PhD degrees

If you have a Master's degree (Maestria) you would be considered for entry to PhD studies.

Entry requirements vary between degree programmes and you should check you have the necessary qualifications before applying. Find the specific entry requirements for your chosen programme, as well as contact details for the relevant School/Institute, in our degree finder.

We recommend you contact potential supervisors and discuss your intended research before you apply. You will probably have to write a research proposal to apply for your PhD. Talk to your supervisor about whether you need to do this.
