Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):

- Scholarship: An automatic GBP 0 Global Leaders Scholarship tuition reduction applies to eligible postgraduate applicants, and is shown on the conditional offer letter.
- Work permit: Postgraduate Certificate in Digital Marketing and Analytics is a postgraduate certificate, not a degree. The Graduate Route is limited to degree level qualifications, so this award does NOT carry post study work permission. Dependants cannot accompany students on taught programmes under rules in force since 2024.
