Academic criteria
Applicants for a studentship must have obtained, or be about to obtain, a First or Upper Second Class UK Honors degree, or the equivalent qualifications gained outside the UK, in an appropriate area of science or technology. Applicants with a Lower Second Class degree will be considered if they also have a Master’s degree or have significant relevant non-academic experience.

The University normally expects the academic and English Language requirements (IELTS 6.5 overall with 5.5 in each component) by point of application.
