We accept a 2:2 honours degree from a UK university, or an equivalent academic qualification from a similar non-UK institution. This degree should be in Communication Studies (or a closely related subject e.g. Social Sciences, humanities subjects, or a technical discipline such as Computer Science or Information Technology).
Applicants with a degree in another subject, who also have appropriate professional experience, will be considered on an individual basis.
On receipt of your application, we’ll discuss a possible research topic with you, either in person or via email. This will help us to match you to a suitable dissertation supervisor and aid your choice of optional modules.
