General entry requirements
All prospective applicants are welcome to contact the academic departments to discuss their potential application.
Please ensure that you have checked the academic and, if appropriate, English language entry requirements for the programme you wish to study before submitting your application. Please also be mindful of any application or funding deadline that might govern your application submission date.
- Please refer to the relevant subject entries for details of specific entry requirements.
MRes
A UK Bachelor's degree in an appropriate subject, awarded with first or upper second-class Honours, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard from a university or educational institution of university rank is required.
Master's Degrees
(MA, MSc, LLM, MFA, MArch, MClinDent)
A UK Bachelor’s degree in an appropriate subject, awarded with first or second-class Honours, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard from a university or educational institution of university rank is required.
For some taught programmes, an applicant whose qualifications, although otherwise acceptable, are of lower standard may be admitted if evidence of an adequate academic background and experience in an appropriate field can be shown. In certain instances, applicants may be required to pursue the programme over an extended period of time (including a qualifying year enrolled for Graduate Diploma) and/or pass a qualifying examination before being registered for the degree programme.
Postgraduate Diplomas and Postgraduate Certificates
The entry requirements are usually the same as for the corresponding Master's programme.
