All levels of practical work and work experience will be considered including applications from candidates with pre-graduation or limited / no work experience who can show that they will benefit from a programme of this type.

Candidates will need to demonstrate that they have achieved a relevant degree or equivalent professional qualification. All applications are subject to University approval.

You must also have a minimum level of English language skills. If English is not your first language, please see our English language requirements.

If you feel you already know some of the topics covered in this course, either due to previous learning or from work experience, you may not need to study all of the course.

Accreditation of Prior Learning is the name given to the process of gaining credit towards a qualification because of something you have learnt in the past. If you are eligible for APL you won't have to learn the same topic again and can be exempt from a module, set of modules or year of a course.

Read more about APL in the Quality Handbook. If you think you may be eligible for APL, please contact the Admissions team.

The annual tuition fee for this course is £11,500 for UK and EU students. If you are a University of Sunderland graduate, you will receive a £1,500 alumni discount on your tuition fee.

The annual tuition fee for this course is £14,000. However, all international students applying in 2020 are eligible for a £1,500 scholarship. This means that the total tuition fee you will pay is £12,500 each year.

Additional tuition fee discount for international students: All courses require you to pay 50% of the total tuition fee as a deposit. However, if you pay 100% of your tuition fee prior to CAS issuance, you will receive an extra £1,000 discount on your tuition fee. This would reduce the total annual cost of this course to £11,500.

If you do not wish to pay all of your tuition fees at once, you can choose to pay the remaining 50% up to three months after the start date. If you choose to pay in this way, you will not receive any extra discount, and the total annual cost of this course will be £12,500.
