Graduation Lock Icon

60%
Applicants for admission will normally be expected to hold a relevant Honours degree with a 2.2 standard from a recognised university or body.

Applicants without this qualification may be admitted subject to having an alternative qualification, or an approved level of work experience appropriate to the field of study. Also taken into careful consideration is the trajectory of results, an applicant without an overall 2.2 but with 2.2 results in their final two years of study may be admitted.

India Specific Requirement:

For State and Central Universities we would look for a minimum of 60% for programmes requiring a 2.2 degree.

For Private and Deemed Universities we would look for a minimum of 65% for programmes requiring a 2.2 degree.

While the above is a general guide we understand that the marking system in some states and national universities make it harder to achieve 60%, therefore we will accept 55% from the University of Mumbai, University of Calcutta, University of Delhi etc. among others. Graduates from the IITs and IIMs will also be considered with marks in the region of 55%.

MSc in Cybersecurity - Batch of 2025

4.7

Education in a quiet and peaceful environment.

Tips: Aberdeen is a really quiet city with a lot of beautiful architecture, so people moving from buzzing cities should know if they would prefer this calm. The tuition fee along with the scholarship provided by the university is extremely value for money. The course is structured really well and fits all careers regarding cybersecurity. There are people without any background in Cybersecurity but still managed to pick up because of the course structure and teaching. I would encourage students to check thoroughly about the course structure and scholarships before applying.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The city is well connected and buses are available almost all the time. There can be due times when buses might run on delay so it's always preferred to catch an earlier bus if you're running on time. Trains are a bit more expensive than buses but you won't need trains to travel inside the city.

MSc. Biotechnology and Bioinformatics - Batch of 2025

3.5

It is a highly prestigious university and extremely close to my heart and my professional journey.

Tips: This is an extremely supportive and helpful environment, highly competitive and focused on academics. Trying to balance both work and life is important; they are extremely strict about immigration rules and regulations so disobeying the rules is not an option.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I am still in the process of looking for jobs and hence I do not have a very clear idea; however, my field does not have much scope in Aberdeen, not only is it still budding. Seeking jobs outside of Aberdeen is preferred for better opportunities with sponsorship.
