Entry requirements

You should normally have a UK undergraduate degree (at least a 2:2) with honours in any discipline, or an equivalent international qualification. Applicants with a degree in a non-computing discipline or a lower degree classification in a computing related discipline may still be considered for entry to the programme where they can demonstrate relevant work experience in a management or supervisory position, and followed by an interview to demonstrate effective communication, learning skills and the motivation to succeed on the programme. However, applications may also be considered where there is extensive evidence of key practical experience and work-based training. Where required, interviews will be conducted by the Academic Lead and may be undertaken by telephone or other suitable methods. After the interview, depending on applicants’ profile, you may be offered admission with a level 7 access module after the interview.
