Course-specific requirements
Visit the course pages for details of the entry requirements specific to your chosen course. Some courses also have additional requirements such as work experience or submission of written work.
Postgraduate taught courses
For a postgraduate taught course such as a Masters, you would normally need a Bachelors degree from a recognised institution. We only consider Bachelors degrees awarded after 2003 to be UK Bachelors equivalent.
Typically you would need at least the equivalent to a UK upper second class honours degree, however some courses will accept lower second class honours degrees. The score you will need depends on which university you have attended and which subject you are applying to.
- A degree awarded from 2003 with a score of 16 out of 20 is considered comparable to a UK 2:1
- A degree awarded from 2003 with a score of 14 out of 20 is considered comparable to a UK 2:2
Research degrees
For a research degree, such as an MPhil or a PhD, you would normally need a Bachelors degree plus either a Masters degree in a relevant subject or some experience of conducting research.
