They welcome applicants from any discipline for this course, and all applications will be assessed based on individual merits and academic readiness. However, there are two identified entry routes for this course: Route 1: Direct entry. Prospective applicants are typically expected to have: A recent first-class or upper second-class honours degree, or an equivalent qualification (for graduates from non-UK institutions). Applications for this course will be processed on a first-come-first-served basis, and offers will be made based on the application date. It is advisable to apply as early as possible since there is no specific deadline. Route 2: Entry via pre-entry module - Research Methods. They recognize that applicants bring valuable academic and experiential learning to their application, and sometimes applicants may not meet the above requirements. Therefore, a second entry route to the course is available, which may involve completing the pre-entry module, for applicants who: Have not studied within the last five years. Hold a lower second-class or third-class honours degree, or an equivalent qualification. Hold an unclassified degree with relevant work experience. Require additional knowledge of the research process and research methods. The pre-entry module, as an alternative entry route, is an online honours-level module that students can undertake at an additional cost. For applicants who do not meet the standard entry requirements, successful completion of the pre-entry module may be considered as part of an offer for a place on the course. English language requirement: An IELTS score of 7.0 (or an equivalent qualification) is required, with no individual element scoring below 6.5.
