Your academic and professional qualifications or relevant professional experience will normally be taken into account, and in some cases, may form an integral part of the entrance requirements. If you’re applying for a distance learning research programme, you’ll also need to demonstrate that you have the time, commitment, facilities, and experience required to study by distance learning. You’ll usually need to submit a research proposal, with a typical word count of 1,000–1,500 words for Arts programmes and around 2,500 words for Law programmes.
