How to apply

We would recommend that you always contact us to discuss your chosen area of research before submitting an application. Do so by getting in touch with either the relevant member of our academic staff, or the Postgraduate Programmes Office.

Apply through the University's online application system as early as possible in the academic year to allow sufficient time for applying for external funding, and for visa applications and approvals.

You can start in January, April, July or September, and you may apply up to a year before your intended start date.

Decide on your area of specialism by exploring the Department's main research areas.
