Qualification Requirements
The minimum requirement set by the University for admission as a postgraduate research student is an upper second class Honours degree from a UK University (or an equivalent international degree). However, satisfying the minimum entry requirements is generally not sufficient to gain admission to the School's PhD programme. Selection is made on the basis of academic quality of the applicants, and you usually need a good to very good first class Honours degree (or equivalent).
All applications must include the following supplementary documentation before a decision can be made:
CV or r'sum. This should include your personal details with a history of your education and employment to date.
Two original signed academic references - these will be requested when you have given contact details in your online application.
Academic transcripts and degree certificates - upload scanned copies.
IELTS - Minimum overall score 6.5 with minimum component scores (Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking) to be 6.0.
TOEFL iBT - Minimum overall score 79 with minimum component scores (Listening-12, Reading-13, Writin-21, Speaking- 18)
