Getting in
As the university states it
For admission to the programme we would normally expect that you to hold a 2:1 Honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant social science or humanities subject area. 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. For those applicants with substantial professional experience in the International Development sector we welcome applications from students who hold an Honours degree at 2:2 or above across a range of areas including education, the social sciences, natural sciences, humanities, arts or business/management. Please note that this list is not exhaustive and every application will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We would encourage applicants to use their personal statement to indicate their interests in International Development and any relevant work experience. Please note, if we receive an application which we deem more suitable for one of our other programmes, we may make an offer for that alternative programme instead. For full details, including English language requirements and international equivalencies, please visit our course page.
