Entry requirements for postgraduates
Check your eligibility for study. We set general entry requirements to ensure that students' qualifications and experience are the right level to study on our courses. We also have course-specific entry requirements.
Requirements for master's, MPhil and PhD
Before you start your application, make sure your previous degree or work experience matches what we need.
Work experience and previous study
If you've already been working or have other learning experience relevant to your chosen course then we can count these towards your entry requirements and some modules when you begin your studies.
