For MRes and MA by Research programmes, we usually require a good (normally a 2:1 or above) Honours degree, or an equivalent qualification if you were educated outside the UK, usually in a relevant area.

If you’re applying for a PhD, you’ll also need to hold a Masters qualification at Merit level or above (or its international equivalent), usually in a relevant area.

Any academic and professional qualifications or relevant professional experience are normally taken into account, and in some cases, form an integral part of the entrance requirements.

If you’re applying for distance learning research programmes, you’ll also need to show that you have the time, commitment, facilities and experience to study by distance learning.

You'll normally need to submit a research proposal. The word count is typically 1,000-1,500 words for Arts programmes and around 2,500 words for Law programmes. See the Application Process section for more information.  

For the Translation Studies Practice-Based PhD, your proposal should include:
  • Details of your source text and a description of your proposed target text.
  • Why your translation will be an original, substantial piece of work, how the translation will demonstrate your professional and/or creative practice and that it will be of publishable quality.
  • How your project relates to current work in Translation Studies, referring to relevant secondary literature which might inform your approach.
