Entry requirements

Undergraduate:

If you are studying A-levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma, our entry requirements are published in the Undergraduate Prospectus and on the University’s online Course Finder.

Postgraduate:

Applicants should have a good Bachelor’s degree from a recognised institution, preferably with at least an upper second class or a very good lower second class degree. Some, but not all, courses require for that first degree to be in a related field. Applicants should check with the Department to which they wish to apply.
