|---|---|
| Entry requirements | An upper second-class honours degree or international equivalent in any healthcare subject or discipline, including social work, veterinary and dental qualifications. Applicants must be in current part-time or full-time employment in a professional field, not limited to the health professions or a health service environment. For applicants who are currently completing a degree, we understand that their final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades they achieve during their studies. We will consider applicants whose interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements. We may make these applicants an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so the applicant would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of their degree. Specific module requirements may still apply. We will consider applicants whose grades are slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements, if they have evidence of significant, relevant work experience. This is not limited to work in the healthcare sector. If this is the case, applicants should include their CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when they apply, showing details of their relevant work experience and/or qualifications. See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website. |
