Candidates must enroll on exactly 180 or 185 credits overall, with at least 135 credits at level 5M. Please note that in order to obtain the MSc award students need to pass 150 credits with at least 135 at level 5 with a minimum classification average of 5.0 . Please refer to the 'rules of award' document for further details, with particular attention to section 16.

Students will be awarded the PGCert if they exit with 60 credits (including 45 at Level 5M), or the PGDip if they exit with 90 credits (including 75 at Level 5M).
