Assessing applications
When assessing applications, the University considers a range of factors, including:
average marks, a GPA or final grade from prior degree-level studies (whether completed or still incomplete at time of applying)
marks or grades achieved for individual subjects or modules taken, particularly
where they provide an important foundation for further study at postgraduate level
the ranking or reputation of the candidate’s previous university
evidence of competence in English language
personal statement
academic references from two members of staff from your current university
for some programmes, work experience or a professional qualification may be required in addition to an academic qualification
for some programmes, a portfolio, example of written work, or evidence of practical skills are required
The grade equivalences listed should be interpreted as a general indication of the marks required to gain entry. Due to the range of factors considered when assessing an application, it is impractical to adhere to exact percentage requirements or equivalences between marks gained in different countries.
