Entry requirements

You will need:

Qualification requirements

Alternative qualifications considered

All candidates must be able to demonstrate an ability to benefit from and contribute to the programme.
Given the general nature of assessment, candidates will normally match the entry criteria below:
- a Bachelor degree from a recognised University or equivalent awarding institution
- a professional qualification recognised as equivalent to the above; or where a candidate does not fulfil the standard entry qualification the Programme Leader will interview the person to determine their suitability for the Programme.

International requirements

Other international requirements

A good level of proficiency in the English language is required as the entire programme is delivered in English. Where English is not the candidate's first language, or their first degree was not wholly taught and assessed in English, an IELTS score of 6.0 must be achieved (or TOEIC/TOEFL equivalent score).
It is of benefit if the candidates have some work experience, however it is not essential. It is not a prerequisite to have working experience, and a candidate who does not have such experience would not be disadvantaged, but this simply acknowledges that any candidate who has work experience will be able to relate their learning to that experience
