Entry requirements

Applicants must hold a good honours degree (normally 2.1 or above) from a UK university or a recognised equivalent qualification.

Applicants should have a GCSE grade C or above in Mathematics, English Language and a Science subject prior to submitting their application.

Secondary candidates should hold a degree that is directly relevant to the specialism route they are applying to. Contact the Lead School directly for further clarification on this.
