Fit
A wide door with a numeracy test of evidence
The page names many accepted degrees and one skills requirement. The readings below mix Warwick's wording with Avandy's judgment, and the labels say which is which.
The degrees
A 2.1 in a wide range of degrees, including economics, business, engineering, psychology, geography, sociology and politics.
The skills
Strong numeracy, IT and statistical ability at undergraduate level, which you demonstrate. The page does not say how.
Avandy's judgment (heuristic, not a university rule)
With a wide list of degrees, the evidence of numeracy matters more than the degree title. List your quantitative and statistics courses, any programming and relevant projects, and make them visible on your transcript and in your application.
Decision
Four specialisms, differently technical
The page describes four specialism routes, and it says they differ in how quantitative they are.
Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics
The page says this specialism focuses more on the quantitative elements and suits students seeking a more technical role.
Artificial Intelligence and management routes
The page describes an Artificial Intelligence specialism with more computational content and a Management Analytics specialism emphasising domains such as supply chain and finance.
Marketing Analytics and Technology
The page says this specialism is less quantitatively demanding than the other three.
Avandy's judgment (heuristic, not a university rule)
Choose the specialism from the work you want to do, because the page itself links each route to different careers.
Application
The reference, the evidence and the deadline
The page lists a single reference and a university-wide deadline.
Reference
One academic reference is typical for taught courses. You give the referee's email address and the university contacts them.
English
The page sets Band B: an IELTS overall score of 7.0 with minimum component scores of two at 6.0/6.5 and the rest at 7.0 or above.
Avandy's judgment (heuristic, not a university rule)
The on-time deadline is 2 August 2027, but a late application may not complete admissions in time. Apply well before it if you need a visa.
Planning
Planning for the 27 September 2027 start
The page says its information applies to 2027 entry and may change before enrolment.
