Application Form Policy
1. Registration Sought
If you are unsure what postgraduate opportunities the University has to offer. If you are applying to study a Masters course you must be specific about the title. Taught courses start in late September each year.
If you are applying to study towards a research degree, ie, PhD, MPhil you must complete a research proposal, indicating your subject area.
2. Personal Details
It is important you complete a correspondence address and prepare detailed Curriculum Vitae. Please let us know immediately if this address changes at any time throughout the year.
3. Academic Qualifications
If you have taken qualifications that cannot easily be recorded as an average, please either record grades (eg A,B,B), classification (eg 2:1), percentage (eg 70%), or a score achieved indicating the total possible (eg 7 out of 10).
Give the names and locations of educational institutions which you have attended (school/college, university, etc) and brief descriptions of courses studied. Also, indicate which qualifications/results/grades you have obtained/or which you expect to obtain. All applicants must provide an official transcript/or marks statement of their academic record to date.
To study at university level you will need to have a good command of English. If English is not your first language we require evidence of your ability in the English language, unless you can demonstrate that your previous education (and examination qualifications) has been in the English language medium.
4. Fee Category
We need to be able to determine what level of tuition fee is relevant to your circumstances, and we therefore ask you to select a statement which most accurately describes you. Please note that it is the University that ultimately decides what fee rate will be applied and that its decision is final.
5. Referees
List two referees on your application form, including at least one from the last institution of higher education you attended. If you have been away from University education for some time, please arrange to have another referee in reserve who can comment on your academic capabilities (eg an employer). No application can be considered until references have been received. Please note that references will not be acceptable unless they bear the official stamp of the University or other institution at which the referee is employed.
6. Criminal Convictions
The University requires you to state whether or not you have a criminal conviction. You do not have to declare a conviction that is classed as spent under the terms of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (please consult NACRO, Citizens Advice Bureau or a solicitor if you are unsure) or for motoring offences for which a standard fine or a maximum of three points was imposed. If you declare that you have a conviction you may be asked to provide details.
B Before Submitting Your Application
Check that you have completed all sections of the application form that are relevant to you, and that you have signed and dated your application. Failure to do so may mean that we cannot process your application.
