Can I apply to University of Edinburgh’s MSc in History (Online) with an 90-credit Canadian BA?

Hi everyone,

I’m a Canadian student finishing a 3-year BA that totals around 90 credits (from a recognized Canadian university — not the 120-credit 4-year version). I’m interested in applying to the University of Edinburgh’s MSc in History (Online Learning) program.

On their site it says they normally expect a “UK 2:1 honours degree or international equivalent,” which in Canadian terms usually means a 4-year degree. But I’ve also read that UK universities sometimes accept Canadian 3-year BAs because their own bachelor’s degrees are three years too.

Has anyone here applied (or been accepted) to a UK master’s — especially at Edinburgh — with a 3-year or ~90-credit Canadian degree? Did they evaluate it case-by-case, or ask for extra coursework or a higher GPA?

Any firsthand experience or advice would be super appreciated!

Thanks :)
