We encourage applicants with the best academic potential to apply for our courses.
Before you apply, you’ll need to check the entry requirements for your chosen course.
If you are made an offer, you'll also have to confirm you can meet the costs of your course and meet your offer conditions.
Course requirements
You can check the entry requirements for your course in the Course Directory.
This will include:
- academic qualifications and grades
- English language requirements
The University's minimum academic requirement is a UK 2:1 (upper second class) degree or international equivalent. However, many of our courses require applicants to reach a higher level, such as the equivalent of a good 2:1 degree or a 1st (first class degree).
International qualifications
If your qualifications are not from a UK university, you should check our international qualifications page to see if your qualifications meet the requirements for your course.
English language requirements
If English is not your first language, you may need to show that you meet the English language requirements for your course.
Check the English language requirements page to find out:
- if you need to take a test
- when to take your test
- how to tell us your results
Admissions fraud
We treat admissions fraud seriously. We check all applications for fake documents and false information. Find out what happens if your application is found to be fraudulent.
Financial requirements
When you take a postgraduate degree, you need to cover costs like course fees and living costs.
Before you start your course, you will need to state that you can meet these costs for the length of your course. You do not need to do this unless we make you an offer of a place. But if you have already secured funding, you can give us those details in your application.
You may want to apply for funding to help you cover your costs. Look for funding using the University’s funding search website.
