Eligibility
Academic Requirements
Postgraduate Entry Requirement (Main)
- A recognised primary honours bachelor’s degree equivalent to Irish NFQ Level 8, with at least a Second Class Honours, Grade 2 (2.2), in any discipline
- DBS does not publish a fixed Bangladesh bachelor’s CGPA or percentage; the institution, award level and final result are assessed individually
Note
Bangladeshi and other non-EU applicants apply directly to DBS International Admissions. Meeting the minimum standard does not guarantee admission, and written confirmation of qualification equivalence should be obtained before relying on eligibility.
Tests
Standardized Test Requirement
GMAT is mandatory for applicants who do not hold an honours bachelor’s degree equivalent to NFQ Level 8 with at least a 2.2 classification. No separate GRE requirement is listed.
