Can a B.A. History graduate with a 3.10 CGPA apply directly for the M.Sc. in Gender, Conflict and Development Studies without doing a PGD first?

Yes, Miracle! Since the M.Sc. requirement accepts a Bachelor's degree in any field with a minimum CGPA of 2.50 on a 5-point scale (plus O'Level Maths and English), your 3.10 CGPA in History qualifies you for direct M.Sc. admission.
