Visa

We accept a wide variety of academic qualifications for entry onto our PhD programme. The typical minimum entry requirement is a UK undergraduate (bachelors) degree with honours at a first or upper second class level in an appropriate field of study. Individual consideration is given to mature students with significant and relevant experience with professional qualifications. Equivalent overseas degrees are also accepted.

Normal entry requirements for Chinese applicants include an undergraduate degree with a minimum grade of 80 percent or a masters degree from a recognised Chinese university.

Some PhD programmes, however, have additional entry requirements so you should check individual programmes for specific information.

If your degree certificate and university transcript are written in another language other than English, you need to have them verified, translated into English and notarised.

English Language Requirements

Applicants whose first language is not English or have not studied at degree level in English are required to provide evidence of proficiency in English. So, if you received your degree from a Chinese university, for example, and the teaching was not in English, proof of English language ability is needed.

Individual cases will be considered on their own merit. You may be required to attend an interview or take a test to further demonstrate your English proficiency.
