Minimum academic requirement
We welcome applicants with a degree in any discipline. All applicants will be considered on their merits and academic preparedness for this course, however, there are two identified entry routes to the course:
Route 1: Direct entry. Prospective applicants should normally be expected to possess:
- A recent (in the last five years) first class or upper second honours degree or equivalent (for graduates of non-UK institutions).
Applications for this course will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis and offers will be made based on the date of application. It is advised to apply as soon as possible as there is no defined deadline.
Route 2: Entry via pre-entry module – Research Methods.
It is recognised that applicants bring a range of valuable academic and experiential learning when applying for entry to the course and, at times, applicants may fall short of the above requirements.
Therefore, a second entry route to the course, which may require completion of the re-entry module, is available for applicants who:
- Have not studied in the last five years
- Have a lower second or third-class honours degree (or equivalent)
- Have an unclassified degree with relevant work experience
- For applicants who do not have satisfactory knowledge of the research process and research methods
The pre-entry module, as an alternative entry route onto the course, is an online honours-level module that students can undertake at an additional cost. For some students who do not meet the standard entry requirements, successful completion of the pre-entry module may form part of any offer of a place on the course.
English language requirement
IELTS score of 7.0 (or equivalent) with no element below 6.5.
