 You will typically need a strong lower second-class honours degree (55% or higher) or an international equivalent in an Engineering, Science, Computing, Maths, Geography, Environmental Management or Studies, Agriculture, Resource Conservation, Finance, Investment, or Economics subject.

We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree.

We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement.

If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional relevant work experience or qualifications.

  • evidence of relevant work experience (minimum of two years) such as: working as an Environmental or Civil Engineer, working for a public body in a water or environment-related job, active voluntary work for environmental charities, or any role where you may have developed relevant technical skills such as data analysis, GIS, Python or other industry-relevant software
