Postgraduate Taught
The majority of our postgraduate taught courses require a qualification equivalent to an upper second-class Bachelor's Honours (or 2.1). However some courses may differ, so please check our course course pages for specific entry requirements.

Degree classification directly compares to that in the UK. We accept Lower Second Class Division in your Bachelor degree for programmes requiring 2.2 and Upper Second Class Division for programmes with 2.1 entry requirement.
