A 2:1 honours degree (or above) in a social science, computer science/informatics or humanities subject.
If you have a lower degree classification, or a degree in an unrelated subject, your application may still be considered. You’ll need to demonstrate significant relevant work experience or offer a related graduate qualification (such as a master’s or PgDip).
Non-standard applications will need to be supported by degree certificates or transcripts (where relevant). You’ll also need to provide a CV, reference letter and a 500-word written statement addressing the following questions: “In your view, what are the key issues in the domain of digital culture and society? How will your professional career or academic trajectory benefit from studying them?”
