Entry Requirements

Academic requirements 

Students should have an overall average grade equivalent to a UK 2:2 (50%). Students with lower grades may be considered if there are mitigating circumstances, but please contact us before the nomination deadline to discuss. Approval from the relevant departments may be required, and lower-level modules may be assigned in some cases. Students must also meet the pre-requisites for any module they wish to take.

English language requirements 

Students from majority English-speaking countries do not need to provide an English language qualification. Others must meet a minimum requirement of IELTS 6.0 (with 5.5 in each component), most subject areas have higher requirements. For European/EEA students staying one semester without a student visa, an English language confirmation document may be accepted, please request this at nomination.

When completing the application, students can choose up to 60 credits per semester and will also complete a backup module form for alternate choices.

If 60/120 credits cannot be approved from these choices, students will be contacted via email.

We recommend that students remain flexible and open to adjustments in their module choices. Specific modules cannot be guaranteed; if a particular module is essential for graduation, please contact us as early as possible to allow time for planning alternatives if needed.
