Your qualifications may not meet our academic entry requirements, or we may not be able to accept your qualifications. Qualifications do not include relevant subject, courses or required grades For some postgraduate degree programmes, you must have completed your undergraduate degree in a relevant subject area or have done specific courses or modules during your degree. In some cases, you must have achieved, or be predicted to achieve certain grades in those courses/modules. Many programmes also require you to have achieved, or be predicted to achieve, at least an upper second class (2:1) in your undergraduate degree (or its international equivalent). If we told you that your previous studies do not include enough relevant content, it may be because: your overall degree studies may meet the advertised degree entry requirements, but the course content covered does not contain enough relevant content to fully prepare you for postgraduate level studyyour studies cover the general relevant subject content, but these relevant subjects do not feature throughout your studies and/or in the later years (you need to have relevant subject content all the way through your studies) Check the entry requirements for your programme on our degree finder Highest qualification not equal to a UK Bachelor Honours degree The highest qualification you have obtained or are currently studying must be equal to a UK Bachelor Honours degree.
