MRes/PhD International Development

Normally a UK taught master's degree with merit or a non-UK equivalent in a subject appropriate to the research; for MRes/PhD entry, a first or upper second class honours (2:1) degree or equivalent in a closely related discipline is the minimum, plus a research proposal, supervisor availability and (normally) an interview. IELTS: 7.0 overall, 7.0 in Reading, 6.5 in Listening, Writing and Speaking (Higher tier, official LSE graduate English requirements). MRes/PhD English requirement is Higher (LSE graduate English requirements, MRes/PhD table). 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 No LSE Pakistan research percentage/CGPA figure was retrievable in this research - do NOT quote another university's Pakistan figure as LSE's. Confirm Pakistani degree equivalence, supervisor availability and the research proposal with LSE Admissions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.
