Consistent undergraduate grades of B or better in core 300-level courses will place you well for consideration. However, entry decisions are made on a case-by-case basis, and the most important criteria for entry are an enthusiasm for the programme, a demonstrable ability to think critically, a confidence with written and oral communication, and a curiosity and an eagerness to question ideas and practices.
