Academic Entry Requirements
Highly selective: around 18 applicants interviewed for 6 places (official page, interviews mid-February 2027). General entry (official page): normally a good 2.1 in a bachelor's degree in Fine Art, History of Art or the Natural Sciences; interest/aptitude in all three fields expected; previous conservation experience not required; interview includes practical test (manual dexterity, colour matching), slide test, portfolio of original artwork, and colour-vision test (normal colour vision required). IELTS: 7.0 (no less than 6.5 in Reading and Writing); submit before interview if invited. Scholarships are NOT deducted from the fee: Courtauld reports over GBP 500,000 in MA scholarships per year (average PG scholarship GBP 6,000, merit + need); alumni loyalty discount 10% for Courtauld graduates on taught PG. PAKISTAN: No official Pakistan threshold published - no Pakistan page was found in the Courtauld's country-by-country international entry requirements list after searching; the Courtauld's own country pages state that if your country's qualifications are not listed, contact international@courtauld.ac.uk for a grade equivalency. Pakistani applicants are therefore assessed against the programme standard below and the equivalency MUST be confirmed with Admissions before advising. Do NOT use India's published figures for Pakistan (UG: 1 year of a bachelor at 75% or Class 12 90% CISCE/CBSE; PG: bachelor 8.0/10) - those are India-only.
