    Raw GPA/QCA/CGPA values don't mean much without context. Percentages mean even less, especially when comparing universities in different countries.

    Where did you graduate from?

    There's about 30 - 35 places for Msc in Financial services. Over 15 students who did it last year were non - eu nationals from china, india, Pakistan.

    Once you meet the requirements you wont have a problem getting in. The competition is nothing compared to Msc in Computational finance.

    In the case of international students, applicants must hold a qualification that is equivalent to an Irish or UK honours bachelor's degree (NQAI level 8). The degree must be in a discipline relevant to the postgraduate degree sought. To find out if you have the correct qualifications to apply for a programme at UL check the specific requirements for your home country.

    Where candidates are non-native English language speakers, the candidate should meet the University’s English Language Requirements.

    Send an email to the course director and ask them. They'll be able to give you an answer

    Actually the problem is that i am unable to weight my Pakistani cgpa with respect to ul grading system, the requirement for msc program is minimum 2.2 degree. So is my CGPA of 3.31 out of 4 or 80.6 % in bachelors degree is enough to get in this program. And also please let me know if i have to give GMAT or GRE to make my application strong, or an honours bachelors degree will make me enough to get in.
