Universities generally ask for a 2:1 or above at undergraduate level in a relevant subject. However, most universities will accept an unrelated undergraduate degree as long as you can demonstrate enough writing experience at an appropriate level. It is standard to submit a written sample as part of the application process for most courses. For non-native speakers, the IELTS requirement may be higher than other subjects, with a 7.5 IELTS a typical score needed.
