Introduction
You’ll develop a contemporary overview of the industry, including the key challenges and drivers for change. By identifying, planning and delivering research-led projects, you’ll drive innovation through the ongoing development of your creativity. The final project is a substantial piece of research and analysis, drawing on your learning from previous study blocks, and can take the form of a dissertation, internal strategy document or consultancy project.
How to apply
Entry requirements
We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds, and encourage you to apply even if you don’t hold conventional higher education entry qualifications.
This process is called Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL). Prior learning includes both formal or 'certified' learning (such as training courses not run by universities or colleges) and informal or 'experiential' learning (gained as a result of work experience or self-study).
You’ll need to provide evidence of your formal learning, professional experience and self-directed study, so we can see if it can be recognised as appropriate preparation for entry to a course - or in some cases allow you to claim credits towards a specific qualification.
You'll need to complete an application demonstrating that you’re able to study at the right level for your course, and in the same subject area. APL applicants using experience to apply should note there is a £200 application fee for entry with advanced standing or with exemption from specific modules or credit.
In reviewing your application, we’ll try to assess whether your application is:
- Authentic - does it reflect your own achievements and efforts?
- Relevant - does it describe what you’ve learned?
- Sufficient - have you provided enough evidence of your prior learning?
- Current - is your learning current and relevant?
Language requirements
If English isn’t your first language, you'll need to demonstrate English language skills that are sufficiently developed for successful completion of your studies. We accept a range of recognised English language qualifications that are equivalent to the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Academic minimum score of 6.5 overall, with a minimum of 6.0 in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.
International applicants who require a Tier 4 student visa to study in the UK must take an approved Secure English Language Test (SELT) to fulfil government visa requirements, or have a recognised language test approved and vouched for by the University. Our Admissions team can help with any questions you may have about study visas or suitable language tests.
