Making your Research Degree Application

The same application is used for a Masters by Research (MRes) or a PhD. We want to make the application process as simple as possible so contact us if you have any questions or problems.

To apply, you need to:

• Complete the online application
• Provide a research plan (for a PhD this should be 2 - 3 pages, for a Masters by research one page is fine)
• Get two referees letters

The research plan should generally describe the areas you are interested in. It shows us that you have thought about some of the questions to be answered in your research.

If you want help writing this then contact us at the address below or email directly the members of staff working in your area of interest (the email addresses of members of staff can be found from the staff contacts pages) - they will be happy to help you. If you do not give us a research plan then we will not be able to see where you fit in the School’s research activities.
