We would normally require you to possess a good Honours degree (2:2 or above) or an equivalent overseas qualification, in an area relevant to their proposed programme of study and from an approved degree awarding body.

If you have lesser academic qualifications but have substantial (approx. 5 years) relevant work experience, your application may also be considered

Candidates applying to the course with non-standard qualifications will be judged on an individual basis using the University's APEL procedures. In addition, a test of written and spoken English normally needs to have been passed at grade 6.0 for IELTS or 550 for TOEFL (or 250 for the computer-based test) or above.
