Qualification Requirements
You must have a first degree, postgraduate diploma or professional qualification recognised as equivalent to an undergraduate UK honours degree of at least a 2:2. Other qualifications or experience may be considered.
Advanced standing
If youve completed a PGCE within the last five years, you can normally join the course with advanced standing. This means youll put 60 credits from your PGCE towards your masters and complete less units to achieve your MA. Usually, this means youll complete just two core units before progressing to your dissertation.
With the agreement of your programme leader, other relevant and recent level seven qualifications may also permit advanced standing.
If you do not have a recent level seven qualification, you may be eligible to claim for recognition of prior experiential learning (e.g. relevant work experience). Further advice and guidance on this will be available after you enrol.
Please be aware the University may not be able to make a decision on your application without the academic transcript for your highest qualification. An interim transcript may be acceptable if the qualification is not yet complete.
There is no deadline for applications to our postgraduate programmes, however we recommend you apply as early as possible to allow for processing of applications and visas.
