Entry requirements

We will consider applicants with a 2:2 Honours degree or above in their first degree in a relevant subject area. While we normally only consider applicants who meet this criteria, if you are coming from a different academic background which is equivalent to degree level, or have relevant work experience, we would welcome your application.

Applicants may also be asked to submit a personal statement and an academic writing sample. The writing sample requested is normally around 2,000-3,000 words of prose, such as a critical essay or an excerpt from one produced for an undergraduate degree. However, this is not mandatory for your initial application. You are welcome to include a writing sample if you wish.

Please also see our guidance on essential documentation required for an initial decision on taught programme applications.
