General entry requirements

BNU's programme specification confirms that the MA Education is a Level 7 postgraduate programme intended for education professionals or those aspiring to become education professionals. For the exact current academic and English-language entry requirements for international applicants, I would recommend checking the live course page/offer conditions because the programme specification does not provide the complete international-country-specific requirements.
