Entry requirements

Applicants are expected to have completed a masters level qualification to a high standard (e.g., at 'merit' or 'distinction' level) as well as either a 2:1 or first class honours undergraduate degree in an area of study appropriate to your project proposal. We are happy to consider equivalent qualifications (for instance, you may have studied different subjects at undergraduate and masters level but have accumulated rich work experience in the proposed area since then).
