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 you’ve completed a PGCE within the last five years, you can normally join the course with advanced standing. This means you’ll put 60 credits from your PGCE towards your masters and complete less units to achieve your MA. Usually, this means you’ll 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 via recognition of prior learning.  
• If you do not have a recent level seven qualification, you may be eligible to claim for recognition of prior experiential learning (eg relevant work experience). Further advice and guidance on this will be available after you enrol.
   

English language
 

• Applicants whose first language is not English must have IELTS with an overall score of 6.5 with no less than 5.5 in any category, or an equivalent accepted English qualification.
