Research postgraduate admissions

How to apply

View pages in this document

For PhD study, a good Master's degree or similar postgraduate qualification is the normal requirement.  You will find specific information about the research interests of our staff on the relevant subject web pages.

Before a formal application can be made, we normally require a CV and a research proposal. In some cases, however (e.g. where you have already identified a specific member of staff whom you wish to supervise your research), you may first make an informal enquiry to the member of staff concerned. But, in all cases, a formal research proposal must be submitted before a decision about the application can be made.

Following the submission and acceptance by the School of your research proposal, you are required to supply the following

• A completed application form for research postgraduate study
  • Apply online for a research degree
  • Request a paper form
• Transcripts of your academic record and evidence of your degree(s)
• Contact details for 3 academic referees
• International students, evidence of an English language qualification.
