Warwick’s minimum academic standard for taught postgraduate courses is a

it is an upper second class honours degree (or equivalent). Course
specific entry requirements are published on our study pages annually.
Where course-specific entry requirements are higher than Warwick’s minimum
standard, the course-specific requirement must be achieved. Applicants who
do not possess an academic qualification which meets or exceeds the
standard required for their chosen course of study may, in some
disciplines, still be considered for admission on the basis of
substantial, relevant work experience, professional training or mitigating
circumstances affecting their performance in previous qualifications. The
admission of such candidates is subject to the approval of the Chair of
the Board of Graduate Studies upon the recommendation of the appropriate
Course Selector.
