Applicants will be asked to complete a personal statement which highlights their pertinent experience and motivation for completing the course. In some cases, an entrance interview may be used to confirm the experience and establish suitability for the programme.

Those without a suitable academic qualification but with substantial experience may apply for an experience-only entry onto the course.  Where applicants have significant experience and insufficient qualifications, they may be encouraged to apply for the PgCert programme in the first instance and use that qualification as a bridge to further learning.
