Occasional students

Applicants may hold the qualifications specified above for entry to the Postgraduate Diploma or to the MSc degree. Alternatively, if they do not hold such qualifications, the University may still consider the application but will require evidence of the student’s ability to undertake an advanced course of study. The University may therefore recommend that the applicant first take two Individual Professional Courses from those available. If a student successfully completes the Individual Professional Courses, their performance will be assessed and they may be invited to continue with the remaining units of the MSc programme.
