Entry Requirements
Research degree entry requirements: applicants should have a 2.i undergraduate degree or a Masters degree in the relevant field of study. The application should include an outline of the proposed research topic and prospective students are encouraged to contact a possible supervisor. All graduates of non-UK universities are required to provide evidence of satisfactory communications skills in English language. A typical requirement is an IELTS score of 6.5; TOEFL paper-based score of 570; TOEFL computer based score of 230; TOEFL internet-based score of 88-89; or GCSE grade C. Students whose test score is slightly below these entry requirements may be able to take the university English language preparation course in the summer before studies commence as an alternative to achieving the higher score.
