Applicants should normally hold an upper second class honours degree or the equivalent from an international institution.

Where the applicant's academic profile shows no evidence of training in research methods, it will normally be recommended that students first complete an MSc or MRes programme to prepare them for MPhil/PhD studies.
Substantial employment or research experience may be considered for some subject areas alongside or in place of academic qualifications.
