MSc Health Sciences

This is a postgraduate science degree, which means that we assume some level of academic and intellectual competence. We take a small number of students each year, around half of who are recent graduates – usually with a good second-class honours degree (or above) in psychology, biology, or a related degree. The others tend to be mature students, often from health related professions. There is a good mix of backgrounds and this is a field where experience can be very valuable. We do not want to exclude people from non-standard backgrounds. We are willing to discuss levels of equivalence and our expectations, but do understate the amount, or quality, of work that we expect. What we really want are people who will benefit from this level of study and who have the enthusiasm and initiative to want to do something with it.

You are usually expected to hold a good second-class honours degree (or above) from an approved university or college in the UK, or a recognised degree from abroad. Advice on recognition may be obtained from the Admissions Manager. Non-graduates with appropriate professional or other qualifications may be accepted on an individual basis by course conveners. The level of English required is ACADEMIC IELTS at 6.5 overall with no less than 5.5 in any band.
