Postgraduate (Master's degrees) Entry Routes
We offer a range of MA and MSc degrees, as well as a Master of Laws (LLM) and the Global MBA.
You will normally require a bachelor's degree and a high level of English to be admitted. Some courses also have more specific requirements, such as work experience or mathematics. (See the course pages for more detail.)
Some courses have flexible entry options and may admit you to the Postgraduate Certificate in the first instance. (With suitable progress, you will be able to proceed to the MA / MSc awards.)
Several of our master’s degrees have a number of entry points per year, so you don’t need to wait to get started with us.
