| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | A minimum 2:2 Bachelor Honours (or international equivalent) in "Computer Science" or "Software Engineering" with at least 40 credits (or equivalent) of a high-level objected oriented programming language such as Java, C++ or C#. You will be required to submit a personal statement as a part of your application which sets out the extent of your programming experience, stating languages used and levels of proficiency in each. If you would like to discuss this with a member of academic staff who can help you to assess whether their degree will be sufficient preparation then we will be happy to arrange this. You can email the Postgraduate Admissions Team at pgadmissions@hull.ac.uk. In order to ensure our students have a rich learning and student experience, most of our programmes have a mix of domestic and international students.
