Entry Requirements

2:1 or above (or its international equivalent). Your degree can be in any discipline.

The course will appeal to you if you’ve studied a subject like science, engineering, the arts or social science. If your first degree is in business or management, then you might find the course has too much overlap. We will consider all applications.

If you are a UK student and completed your undergraduate degree abroad, your qualification must be equivalent to a 2:1 or above.

We may make an offer based on a lower grade if you can provide evidence of your suitability for the degree.
