Entry Requirements
Typical entry requirements are:
- Applicants MUST be a UK National
- 2:1 honours undergraduate degree
We actively encourage candidates from diverse and non-traditional backgrounds to apply. This includes, for example, post first-degree entrants, experienced defence sector employees, those transitioning to civilian roles and returners to study. Therefore, although typical entry requirements are a 2:1 honours undergraduate degree, we accept many forms of equivalent prior learning.
