For our MSc programmes you should normally have obtained at least the equivalent of a UK second class honours degree, or an equivalent qualification in a science, engineering, IT, business or management discipline.
- For Programme and Project Management (PPM) a wider range of first degree subjects are accepted - you do not necessarily have to have studied a science, engineering, IT or business related course.
- For Manufacturing Systems Engineering (MSE) you must have a BSc in an engineering related subject.
- For Cybersecurity and Management (CSM) you must have a BSc in Computer Science, IT or closely related subject.
- There are two study routes for Digital Healthcare (DH): clinical and engineering. For the clinical route you must have a first degree in a clinical subject or Allied Health Profession courses. Degrees in Life Sciences may also be accepted. For the engineering route you must have a degree in a Science, Engineering or Technology discipline, or other subject involving significant numerical work. General Business degrees are not acceptable for either of the Digital Healthcare courses.
If you have a good honours degree in another discipline, and can show proof of satisfactory numeracy, you may also be considered. We may also consider degrees in other disciplines if you have two or more years of relevant work experience.
How to Apply
You can apply now, even if you do not yet have all the necessary documents ready; if necessary we will make you a conditional offer until you provide them.
You will need to provide:
- A completed application form & application fee.
- A Personal Statement, which can be included in the online application.
- A transcript of marks awarded so far (if you are currently studying) OR a final transcript / degree certificate* (if you have completed your studies).
- English test result (if applicable)
- Two references. If you completed studies less than 2 years ago, these should be academic references.
The easiest way to apply us using our online application form. You do not have to complete the application process in one go, you can work through it at your own pace and it is only when you click "submit" that your application is sent to us.
*Please note: Whilst scanned copy documents uploaded online can be used to consider your application, should you be made an offer you will be required to supply either the original or valid copies of your degree transcripts/certificates (officially translated if applicable).
Please only apply for ONE of our courses, do not submit multiple applications to WMG. Once accepted onto one MSc course, you can request a switch to another, although restrictions apply.
There is a £35 fee which must be paid to the University before your application can be processed.
English Requirements
Studying at Warwick requires a high level of competence in English. If you are a non-native English speaker you must show English test results equivalent to IELTS 6.5 with broadly consistent scores in the elements of the test. We accept IELTS, Pearson Test in English (Academic) and TOEFL (iBT).

We do not recognise any other English testing system and we do not routinely carry out English proficiency interviews as a substitute for English test results.
If you do not quite meet these standards, but have an overall IELTS score of 6.0 (or equivalent), we may be able to offer you a place conditional on you attending a 5 or 10 week pre-sessional English course. Students intending to take the pre-sessional course prior an MSc should still apply to WMG.
If you have undertaken three or more years of academic study in higher education in a predominantly English-speaking country, you may be considered for exemption from these English requirements at our discretion.
We do not normally require English test results from students from Nigeria.
Intensive English Language Courses
If you do not meet our English requirement, you should consider the Pre-Requisite English Programme (PREP) which is available at Warwick's Centre for Applied Linguistics. This course is designed for graduate students from overseas and is suitable for those planning to enter postgraduate study at a British University. The duration of the courses can be 3 months, 6 months, or 9 months dependent on your starting level of English.
