Entry requirements
Evidence of writing ability is required. A sample of not more than ten pages of original writing must be submitted with all applications.
For entry to postgraduate level, applicants should normally possess:
- first or upper second (2:1) degree with honours (from a UK university)or professional qualification, recognised as being equivalent to degree standard; or
- an ordinary degree, foundation degree, higher national diploma, or university diploma, accompanied by substantial experience in an appropriate field.
- Applicants with overseas qualifications can check their comparability with the UK equivalent through NARIC, who provide an advisory service.
English language requirement
If your first language is not English then evidence of English proficiency is required. The level of proficiency that is required can vary with the type of programme for which you are applying. For further advice on the appropriateness of overseas qualification and proficiency in the use of English, please contact our International Office.
The minimum IELTS score for acceptable English proficiency for entry is normally 7.
