General requirements
- Usually, we require a high 2:1 or above for your undergraduate degree and a merit for your master’s. At least one of your previous degrees should be in an area relevant to your proposed research.
- We will also need to see your degree transcripts, which provide a breakdown of your marks, in addition to your degree certificates.
- In general, we do not admit, directly to the PhD, students whose master’s degree is an MBA; we instead recommend our MRes Management as preparation for the PhD degree.
