Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • The separate Professional Experience option should be considered independently.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • IELTS Academic 6.5 overall, with no component below 5.5, or an accepted equivalent.
  • ARU's postgraduate English policy also lists PTE Academic 61 overall with at least 59 in each component.
  • Applicable test-validity rules must be met.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • September 2027 entry lasts 12 months at Cambridge or Chelmsford.
  • The course also lists January 2027 and May 2027 starts, lasting 16 and 20 months respectively.
  • The Professional Experience route is not the one-year course quoted here.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • No fixed September 2027 closing date was published on the inspected pages.
  • The posted September 2026 CAS dates must not be reused for 2027 entry.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The standard full-time MSc lists 2027/28 international tuition of GBP 20,925 per year.
  • September's one-year route therefore uses this annual tuition figure.
  • A GBP 4,000 deposit or sponsorship letter is requested; living expenses and any Professional Experience year are separate.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • ARU checks course applications for scholarship eligibility and normally offers the highest eligible award rather than combining awards.

  • It is not a general discount for every new International Business MSc applicant.
