Direct applications

We judge all candidates on their individual merits.

The minimum requirement for postgraduate courses is usually an honours degree (at least a 2:2 or equivalent) or HND with relevant experience, or equivalent (please check the individual course pages for exact requirements). These requirements may be relaxed if you have a cognate degree or are a non-graduate with extensive, relevant professional experience*.

*Which demonstrates the outcomes that a bachelor's degree with honours would have, as stipulated by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education, 2008.
