Getting in
As the university states it
You should usually hold a second-class honours degree (certain programmes may require a 2:1) from a recognised British or overseas university. Advice on recognition can be obtained from our admissions office. Non-graduates with appropriate professional qualifications will be considered on an individual basis by Programme Leaders; contact details can be found on course pages. Applicants will be expected to apply and register for the full masters award. If you have a third-class honours degree, we encourage you to complete an application as we will consider your wider circumstances in making a decision on your application.
