Entry Requirements

Each application will be assessed on its own merits, but applicants are typically expected to have an honours degree (2.1 or above) from a UK university, or its equivalent:

  • an honours degree from any university in the UK or Republic of Ireland or
  • an honours degree from an approved institution of higher education outside the UK and Republic of Ireland or
  • a recognised equivalent professional qualification. 

Exceptions can be made in appropriate cases, however, and we welcome applicants without formal qualifications but with relevant experience (for example, work experience in the creative or cultural industries, in digital policy, or in digital media).
