For entry to postgraduate level, you should normally possess:
- a first or upper second (2:1) degree with honours 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.
If you are an overseas applicant you can check the comparability of your qualifications with
UK ENIC, which provides an advisory service.
English language requirement
If English is not your first language, you must have proficiency in written and spoken English (normally a minimum test score of 6.5 for IELTS, or equivalent). Given the nature of the programme, you’ll be expected to read and engage with complex theoretical texts and debates for which fluency in English is essential.
