Entry requirements

You should have, or expect to get, a 2:1 Honours degree. Your degree doesn't need to be in a media or film-related discipline and you don't need to have any experience in the media industry to apply. However, you'll need excellent communication skills, with high standards of written and spoken English. We look at your degree grades, personal statement, any relevant experience in the media industry, and your English Language results (if you're an international applicant).
