Entry requirements

  • a first-class or upper second-class UK honours degree
  • a relevant masters qualification
  • or an equivalent qualification.

This is the same as for the MPhil/PhD route, except that the student must demonstrate an exceptional level of preparedness and aptitude for PhD study, for instance in the form of an MPhil degree or an outstanding performance at Masters level in an area very closely aligned with the PhD.
