Postgraduate Study

Applying for Research Degrees

There are no restrictions placed on who can apply although all candidates must have suitable undergraduate degrees (a 2:1 or equivalent). Consideration will be given to good students with a 2:2 degree who also have relevant experience. A minimum level of competency in English is required. You need to be classed as an overall Grade 6.5 ('Competent User'), using the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Alternatively, a minimum score of 575 is required using a paper-based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) test or a minimum score of 232 for a computer-based TOEFL test.

We offer a number of studentships each year, and these are advertised in the current vacancies area of the website. Sign up to our Vacancy Alert service to receive an email notification direct to your inbox whenever a new studentship/vacancy is advertised.
