Getting in
As the university states it
You should have (or expect to be awarded) an undergraduate degree of at least second class standard in a relevant/related subject. If you would like to specialise in image making, you'll also need to submit a portfolio of work. You might also be considered if you aren’t a graduate or your degree is in an unrelated field, but have relevant experience and can show that you have the ability to work at postgraduate level. We accept a wide range of international qualifications. If English isn’t your first language, you will need an IELTS score (or equivalent English language qualification) of 6.5 with a 6.5 in writing and no element lower than 6.0 to study this programme.
