We encourage applicants with the best academic potential to apply for our courses.
Before starting your application, it's essential to review the entry requirements for your chosen course.
Academic requirements
You can check the specific entry requirements for your course in the Course Directory.
The University’s minimum academic requirement is a 2:1 (upper second class) UK Bachelor's Honours Degree or its international equivalent. Many of our courses require applicants to have a higher level, such as a high 2:1 or a 1st class UK Bachelor’s Honours Degree, or their international equivalents.
International qualifications
If your qualifications are from outside the UK, 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 demonstrate that you meet the English language requirements for your course.
Check the English language requirements page for details on:
- Whether you need to take a test
- When to take your test
- How to submit your results
Financial requirements
When you take a postgraduate degree, you need to cover costs like course fees and living costs.
Before starting your course, you'll need to confirm that you can meet these costs for the duration of the 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.
Admissions fraud
We take admissions fraud seriously. All applications are thoroughly checked for fake documents and false information. Find out what happens if your application is found to be fraudulent.
