Entry requirements

We are looking for graduates with a 2:1 or above in their first degree in any social science, humanities or environmental studies. While we normally only accept applicants who meet this criteria, if you have a high 2:2 or equivalent, are coming from a different academic background which is equivalent to degree level, or have relevant work experience, we would welcome your application. Applications from candidates with relevant professional experience and evidence of good research and writing skills will also be considered. Also, as this is a specialist and multi-disciplinary programme, students who do not meet the general admissions requirements but who have substantial professional or personal experience which is directly related to the programme will be considered. Students who wish to be considered on the basis of professional or personal experience should submit a detailed personal statement outlining their relevant experience. Students who do not fulfil the general admissions requirements may also be required to attend an interview and/or complete an assignment in order to assess their academic ability. For full details, including English language requirements and international equivalencies, please visit our course page.
