5. Qualifications for admission

The normal requirement is at least a good Upper Second Class standard in an Honours degree (or an equivalent GPA greater than 3.6), although account may be taken of other qualifications and experience.

We seek to attract high calibre applicants from across the range of the humanities, social sciences and physical sciences, and from throughout the world.

English Language Qualification

Any student whose first language is not English or whose previous University training was not conducted entirely in English is normally required to achieve a satisfactory standard in the ELTS test (Band Score 7) or Princeton TOEFL (Score 600) before admissions can be confirmed.
