General requirements
- You should have, or expect to get, a 2:1 Honours degree in Law, Philosophy, Politics or another relevant subject. Appropriate work experience will also be taken into consideration.
- If your undergraduate degree is in another subject, you can still apply. The university considers every application on its merits, and it’ll consider applicants from diverse academic backgrounds.
- It may also require you to submit a writing sample. This should be around 3-4 pages long. Although it doesn't need to be a Philosophy, Law or Politics essay, it should provide strong evidence of your potential for the type of discursive, analytical, writing that is required in these disciplines at postgraduate level.
- If you have been out of academia for some time, it will accept a professional reference and one academic reference, rather than the standard requirement for two academic references.
