Entry requirements

You should have, or shortly expect to attain, a first or upper second class honours degree and preferably an approved higher degree. Alternatively, you may be admitted on the basis of a professional qualification of degree standard obtained by examination.

Your PhD is supervised and examined in English, so you must be able to prove your fluency in the language if it is not your mother tongue. Evidence of fluency includes residence in an Anglophone country for three or more years before starting the programme, or an adequate grade in an approved test of English.
