Admission Requirements
Applicants should normally have obtained at least second class honours, division A, in their bachelor degree, or the equivalent. The degree should be in any discipline of the social sciences or the humanities. In exceptional circumstances, degrees in other disciplines will be considered.

• A very good four-year bachelor degree, or graduate diploma.
• A very good three-year bachelor degree and substantial relevant work experience demonstrating a capacity for analysis and research.

As a guide, 'very good' normally refers to an A/B+ average and above, or distinction average and above.
