Entry requirements

All applicants should hold a strong undergraduate degree (2.1 or above) and/or a relevant master’s qualification or international equivalent. Consideration will be given to applicants who may not meet these academic criteria but have relevant practical experience, evaluating each case on its own merits. Prospective postgraduate candidates are required to provide a fully filled-out application form for the desired program, accompanied by a research proposal consisting of no more than 1000 words. It is highly recommended to consult the guidance notes on how to write a proposal for a research degree on composing a research degree proposal for further details and direction. We invite you to explore our team’s ongoing research to enhance your research proposal and confirm its relevance to our research focus areas. English language: If English is not your first language, you are required to demonstrate proficiency in English to a minimum standard. This includes achieving an overall International English Language Testing (IELTS) score of at least 7.0, with a minimum score of 6.5 in each section, including writing, or a comparable qualification. It is important to note that your test results should be recent, specifically within the past two years, to be considered valid. Applications that present an IELTS score below 5.5 in any of the components will be deemed ineligible.
