Entry requirements for postgraduates

Check your eligibility for study

We set general entry requirements to ensure that students' qualifications and experience are the right level to study on our courses. We also have course-specific entry requirements.

Requirements for master's, MPhil and PhD

Before you start your application, make sure your previous degree or work experience matches what we need.

Work experience and previous study

If you've already been working or have other learning experience relevant to your chosen course then we can count these towards your entry requirements and some modules when you begin your studies.

  • MPhil and PhD requirements

    We usually ask for an honours degree at 2:1 or above or relevant professional experience.

    A master's degree in a subject relevant to the course you wish to study is desirable but it isn't always essential.
