Postgraduate Taught

The majority of our taught Masters programmes require that you hold a qualification equivalent to a lower second-class Bachelor Honours (or 2.2). Please check our course pages for specific entry requirements.

We generally consider a Bachelors degree awarded by a nationally recognised higher education institution in Ghana to be comparable to a UK Bachelor Honours degree.

Degree classification directly compares to that in the UK. We accept Lower Second Class Division in your Bachelor degree for programmes requiring 2.2 and Upper Second Class Division for programmes with 2.1 entry requirement. Please check our course pages for specific entry requirements.

We also accept some applicable pre-masters programmes, please contact pgadmissions@hull.ac.uk to confirm if your programme is eligible.
