Undergraduate
Usually applicants will have an undergraduate degree (2:2 or equivalent) but applicants with other qualifications or professional experience are also encouraged to apply. We will consider evidence of your relevant personal, professional or educational experience where it demonstrates an ability and potential to succeed on the course.
Accredited Learning will be available up to a maximum of 120 credits for a relevant CDI approved Postgraduate Diploma. In this case it will not be possible to obtain a graded MA. If the Postgraduate Diploma is over five years old then it will be necessary for you to be currently working in a relevant field.
Please contact a Programme Leader to discuss your eligibility for the course.
