Peru
Postgraduate entry requirements for students from Peru.

You must have a very good Bachelor degree (from a good institution) in order to be considered for direct
admission to postgraduate study at the University of Edinburgh.
In order to apply for a Masters degree you should have completed at least 4 years of study at a good
institution, and obtained a Licenciatura or Título Profesional with a minimum of 14.0+ (20 point scale) in their
licenciatura/título. 
If you achieve lower than 14/20 but are in the top 1/5th or higher in your graduating year from a good
Peruvian higher education institution, you can look to apply. 
If you have a Masters degree (Maestria) will be considered for entry to PhD studies.
