Applicants normally hold a 2:2 undergraduate honours degree or its equivalent. Where the degree is in a relevant subject area, no additional work experience is required. Applicants with an undergraduate degree in an unrelated discipline will be expected to have a minimum of two years’ relevant professional experience in a related field. Applicants will be required to provide a Personal Statement demonstrating their understanding of the course and its relevance to their future career plans. Applicants who do not meet the standard academic entry requirements but hold a professional qualification combined with at least two years’ relevant work experience may be considered on a case-by-case basis. In such cases, applicants may be invited to attend an interview as part of the admissions process. Interviews Interviews can take place either face to face, by telephone or online to suit the applicant's requirements. Interviews allow the Course Leader and the applicant to explore current academic qualifications (recognition of prior certificated learning) and professional experience (recognition of prior experiential learning) more fully, to determine if they are appropriate to be considered for entry to the course. International Students International students who do not meet our direct entry requirements for this course can gain additional entry points through our International College at Robert Gordon University.
