You will typically require an upper second-class honours degree or international equivalent in one of the following:

 * Biology

 * Chemistry

 * Earth Sciences

 * Instrumental Analysis

 * Spatial Modelling

 * Environmental Monitoring

 * Statistics/Biostatistics

 * R or Python

 * Water Analysis

 * Environmental Impact Analysis

 All other degree subjects will be considered on a case-by-case basis if applicants can demonstrate academic experience in the areas above.

 Alternatively, two years paid work experience in a relevant sector such as Non-Governmental organisations, the environmental sector or work involving quantitative research may be considered to demonstrate sufficient academic experience; these will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

 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 relevant work experience or qualifications. If you have one of the following, please include your CV (curriculum vitae/résumé) when you apply, showing:

 * evidence of two years paid work experience in Non-Government Organisations (NGOs), the environmental sector or work involving quantitative research.

 * a relevant postgraduate qualification.

 Specific module requirements would still apply.

 See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.
