The minimum entry requirement is a 2:2 honours degree, or an equivalent international qualification. Applicants will ideally have at least 2 years work experience, although highly motivated candidates who can show that they would benefit from the programme, and have the commitment to complete it successfully, will be considered. Applications without standard qualifications must demonstrate: the capacity for theoretical debate; a high level of motivation; the capacity for independent study; the ability to achieve the proposed programme of work; students for whom English is not their first language must have achieved IELTS 6.5 (with a minimum 6 in each component).
