A recognized honours bachelor’s degree (Level 8 or equivalent) in science, health, medicine, communications, journalism, public health, or another relevant discipline, with a strong academic record (typically at least upper second class). Indian GPA equivalence: a first‑class or high upper second ⩾ 60 % depending on university grading. Commonly translates to an Indian CGPA above ~6.5–7.0 or percentages above 60–65 %.
No specific subject prerequisites beyond a relevant bachelor’s degree, though those with backgrounds in life sciences, health sciences, communications or journalism are especially suited.
