Entry requirements
You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent in Biology, Botany, Ecology, Forestry, Microbiology, Zoology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics, Anthropology, Communication Studies, Criminology, Economics, Geography, Politics, Psychology, Sociology, Social Work, or professional degrees (Medicine, Architecture, Planning or Engineering). We will also consider applicants with other degree subjects on a case-by-case basis if they have at least one year's recent work experience (within the last four years) in a policy-facing role, a government department in the UK or overseas, development or environmental consultancies, multilateral organisations or NGOs. Internships are acceptable as long as they were taken with organisations active in the development or environmental field. We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific module requirements would still apply. We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement.
