Entry requirements

For international students

Youll need to hold a Masters qualification at Merit level or above (or its international equivalent), usually in a relevant area. Your academic and professional qualifications or relevant professional experience will normally be taken into account and, in some cases, may form an integral part of the entrance requirements. If youre applying for a distance learning research programme, youll also need to show that you have the time, commitment, facilities, and experience to successfully study by distance learning. Youll usually be required to submit a research proposal, which should typically be 1,000–1,500 words for Arts programmes and around 2,500 words for Law programmes.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
