All applications are considered on their individual merits and will be assessed using a collective approach, which takes into account professional status and work experience as well as academic achievement. Work experience Candidates must have at least three years’ postgraduate work experience, which can be from any industry, including both private and public sectors, and charitable organisations. Academic and professional achievements You should have a good first degree awarded by a UK university or overseas equivalent, or a relevant professional qualification.

Numeracy and literacy competencies We will require evidence of numeracy and literacy competencies, and you may be required to complete an authorised online aptitude test such as the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT).
