Expected Academic Standard
Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK Masters (Pass).
If your degree is not from the UK, please check International Qualifications to find the equivalent in your country.
At least a II.i UK four-year 'undergraduate master's' (honours) degree or a UK three-year bachelor's (honours) degree plus a relevant one- or two-year master's degree or equivalent.
Applicants with only an undergraduate degree will not usually be considered. However, some four-year programmes with a strong research component may be eligible for entry.
Please note that these are higher entry requirements than the University of Cambridge sets for postgraduate degrees in other departments.
