Entry requirements

  • Admission to a taught postgraduate or master's programme normally requires a completed bachelor's degree from a recognised university, or an acceptable overseas equivalent. Entry is competitive and based on your prior academic record — you will typically need a good grade average (commonly a B average or better), with more selective programmes requiring more. Some programmes have additional requirements such as relevant work experience, or portfolios/auditions for creative fields. International applicants must also meet the University's English language requirements.
