Entry requirements
Preferably a UK 2:1 Honours degree, or its equivalent if outside the UK, or an equivalent qualification in any subject. Applicants holding a UK 2:2 Honours degree, or its equivalent from outside the UK, may also be considered. Since there is an explicit ethicosocial element to the programme, students from a humanities or arts background are equally likely to gain entry as those from an economics, life sciences or engineering background.
