Entry requirements

For international students

Degree requirements: Youre normally expected to have a Merit (an average of 60percentage of overall) in a Masters degree and an upper second-class (2.1) undergraduate honours degree. Subject-specific requirements: Your qualification should be in geography or a closely related subject area. In exceptional circumstances, you may be considered for the degree if you have a qualification in a different subject area. You may also be considered for the degree if you have other professional qualifications or experience of equivalent standing. We also offer a 1+3 route incorporating the MSc in Social Research Methods or further specialist research training modules within Year 1 for those without the required research training.
