Entry requirements

The course seeks to accept suitably qualified applicants who are deemed to be able to engage in postgraduate level study and can reasonably be expected to successfully complete the course of study. This will normally be demonstrated by the achievement of a good first degree or equivalent and good academic references.

Applications are also encouraged from students who may not hold a first degree but have equivalent professional qualifications and sufficient work experience in a supervisory or managerial capacity. Normally relevant work experience equivalent to three years would be required for this entry route.

Applicants with no formal degree or professional level qualification may be accepted in exceptional circumstances, where they have had substantial business experience in a managerial capacity.
