Other requirements

General requirements

A minimum of an upper second class honours degree (2:1). Applicants with a lower second class honours degree (2:2) may be considered in exceptional circumstances if their first degree is over 10 years old and they have gained significant professional experience since then.

Alternatively, applicants with a postgraduate certificate (e.g. PGCE) will also be considered.

As statistical procedures are a key element of Psychology, we require applicants to demonstrate competence in mathematics, for example through having obtained GSCE mathematics (or equivalent).

They also encourage applicants to provide evidence of interest in the discipline of psychology and reflection on the ways that their experience to date would enable them to succeed at the Masters level.
