A current Progress File can be used to provide extra information to accompany an application. Progress Files can also be brought to interviews, and applicants should be prepared to use them as a basis for discussion. They may also be used where an applicant does not achieve the grades requested or during the clearing process.

Although applicants normally require a first degree (usually at least a 2:2) to undertake postgraduate study here we recognise that many people have a wealth of valuable skills and knowledge they’ve developed at work or through training. If you have the potential to succeed in postgraduate or post-experience studies we’ll consider your application on its individual merits.
Our Admissions Tutors are looking for motivated and committed students. It is essential that our postgraduate candidates have achieved good standards in maths or numeracy, communication and IT. You will also need to demonstrate a good knowledge and interest in the subject area you’re applying for.
To register for an MPhil degree or an MPhil with the possibility of transferring to a PhD you’ll normally need a first or second class Honours degree from a recognised university. Direct registration for a PhD is possible but it is normally restricted to holders of a relevant Masters degree.
If you have another qualification you’ll be considered on your merits and we’ll take into account the nature and scope of the programme of work you’re proposing. We also recognise professional experience, publications, reports and other evidence of accomplishment as well as an ability and background knowledge appropriate to the proposed research.
Candidates are required to possess the required English language skills to undertake their programme of work and also to prepare and defend a thesis. As a research student your application needs to be accepted by one of our four faculties and this can only be done once an appropriate supervisory team has been identified.
