Academic Requirements
You are normally expected to hold at least a 2i honours degree from a UK university or an equivalent standard from an overseas university.
Language Requirements
Students whose first language is not English are required to pass an English test at a high level prior to their admission being confirmed. The University believes that it is in the student's interest that his or her language skills are at a very high level before he or she embarks on a course and adherence to this requirement is strict. Students must be able to communicate in English at a level and in an idiom suitable to the subject.
The IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is the University's preferred test. Details can be obtained from local British Council Offices. Where the IELTS test is not available you may take the Princeton TOEFL test (Test of English as a Foreign Language). The University's institution code is 0908.
