Entry requirements

To be accepted onto any of our postgraduate Masters degrees, you need a good UK bachelor degree (minimum 2:1) or international equivalent qualification.

Exceptions to the typical academic requirements may be made when an applicant demonstrates significant relevant experience and their potential for benefiting from the course is clear. This will be assessed by consideration of the CV and personal statement and may include an interview.

If you are an international student and have not studied in the UK, please check out our international equivalent qualifications. You can also check our English language requirements.
