IELTS: 7.0 overall, no component below 6.5 (Standard tier, official LSE graduate English requirements). MPhil/PhD Statistics is explicitly Standard tier (LSE graduate English requirements). PAKISTAN - NO OFFICIAL LSE PAKISTAN-SPECIFIC RESEARCH THRESHOLD FOUND: LSE's published graduate rule for non-UK degrees is at least 70% in final-year examinations or GPA at least 3.5 out of 4.0 (LSE Graduate Entry Requirements page), and research entry normally requires a UK taught master's with merit or a non-UK equivalent in a subject appropriate to the research; popular programmes often look for a first-class equivalent. No LSE Pakistan research percentage/CGPA figure was retrievable in this research - do NOT quote another university's Pakistan figure as LSE's. Confirm Pakistani degree equivalence, supervisor availability and the research proposal with LSE Admissions before advising.
