The standard minimum entrance requirement for all our postgraduate degree programmes is a first or upper second class honours degree which must normally be in an appropriate social science subject (except for the MSc in Social Work where graduates in any subject may be considered). Students without the standard qualifications are advised to contact the postgraduate co-ordinator or relevant course director to discuss their eligibility.
Candidates whose first language is not English will be required to produce formal confirmation of proficiency, generally by taking a test organised by the British Council English Language Testing Service. As a condition of entry to the Department of Social Policy and Social Science, candidates are normally expected to have achieved an IELTS score of at least 7 in the written component and a minimum of 6 in the other three components. Details of the English Language Testing Service can be obtained from the College's Graduate School Office. (Addresses)
