You will typically need an upper second-class honours degree or an international equivalent in an arts or humanities discipline, such as:

 * Anthropology

 * Comparative Literature

 * Cultural Geography

 * English

 * Film

 * History

 * Linguistics

 * Modern Languages

 * Philosophy

 * Theatre

 * Visual Art.

 Your degree must include one module in literature, or one module related to literature (e.g. Romantic Britain and Italy, Shakespearean Poetry), at 60% or international equivalent.

 Non-traditional qualifications/routes may also be considered.

 If you are currently completing a degree, we understand that your final grade may be higher than the interim grades or module/unit grades you have achieved during your studies to date. We will consider your application if your interim grades are currently slightly lower than the programme's entry requirements and may make you an aspirational offer. This offer would be at the standard level, so you would need to achieve the standard entry requirements by the end of your degree. Specific module requirements would still apply.

 We will also consider your application if your final overall achieved grade is slightly lower than the programme's entry requirement. If your achieved grade is lower than our entry requirements, your application may be more likely to receive an offer if you have additional qualifications. If you have the following, please include your CV (curriculum vitae / résumé) when you apply, showing:

 * a relevant postgraduate qualification.

 See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
