MSc Entry Requirements
Applicants will usually have a first degree from a recognised university and both science and arts-based degrees are accepted.
For non-graduate applicants with appropriate practical experience, an access route is available. The access route comprises the first two modules of the full MSc/PG Dip programme. Entrants achieving the required standard in these two modules and who wish to continue with their studies, will be allowed to register as candidates for the Postgraduate Diploma or MSc degree. Direct registration onto the Postgraduate Diploma or MSc for candidates without a first degree is possible for applicants who can demonstrate that they have substantial relevant work experience
English Language Requirement
The language of study for the course is English. The University's minimum requirement for non-native English speakers is 6.5 in the IELTS test (Academic English) or 580 in the TOEFL test. Applicants who do not hold one of these qualifications, but who have undertaken significant work experience or study, where English was the main language of communication, may be accepted upon submission of suitable evidence.
APL or APEL
Where applicants can demonstrate evidence of prior learning achievement which is relevant in terms of this programme, credit may be awarded in part fulfilment of the programme’s credit requirement. Credit will be granted for whole modules only up to a maximum of 50% of the taught programme.
