Applying to study for a degree can seem like a daunting task, but we’re here to help!  

Entry requirements

We’ll advise you every step of the way – and help you understand our undergraduate, master’s and MBA entry requirements – to make applying easy.    

Start by checking that you meet our entry requirements and get ready to build a brighter future when you apply to study with us.

We strive to support students to succeed, whatever their background, and we encourage you to apply to study with us even if you don’t meet the academic requirements.  

We view all applications holistically – and will consider your background, work and other experience when assessing your ability to succeed in your chosen degree programme. 

If you’re a mature student and you don’t meet our entry criteria, you may be eligible to enrol through our mature student process. You may be required to submit a CV and a short supporting statement of 500 to 600 words. This should set out why you want to study this programme and how it will support your career plans.
