Qualification Requirements
For entry to postgraduate level, you should normally possess:
a first or upper second (2:1) degree with honours or professional qualification, recognised as being equivalent to degree standard, or
an ordinary degree, foundation degree, higher national diploma, or university diploma, accompanied by substantial experience in an appropriate field.
If you are an overseas applicant you can check the comparability of your qualifications with the UK equivalent through ECCTIS, who provide an advisory service.
Applicants must have discussed a research topic with a prospective University of Plymouth supervisor in advance, including agreement about possible sources of funding for the project. Find out more about our research groups, their members and interests via the School of Biological and Marine Sciences Research page before applying. The research group leaders will be happy to answer your questions about potential supervisors and research topics.
Please contact Dr Mick Hanley with any additional queries.
English language requirement
If English is not your first language, you must have proficiency in written and spoken English (normally a minimum test score of 7 for IELTS, or equivalent). Given the nature of the programme, you'll be expected to read and engage with complex theoretical texts and debates for which fluency in English is essential.
