No cap and no selection stated for this programme. SRH's FAQ says there is no NC for its degree programmes and no page gives a number of places; admission runs through an admissions interview whose stated purpose is to check that the programme fits, and the programme page adds that not all programmes require an interview and that an applicant may receive the letter of acceptance directly. Recorded as not stated rather than unrestricted because no page says that everyone who meets the requirements is admitted.
