Post Grad research entry requirements
Application form
The normal entry requirement for an applicant to be admitted to a research degree programme is either a good honours degree, ie first or second class, or a Masters degree from a UK higher education institution. Applicants with a degree of a lower status, but with appropriate research or professional experience, will also be considered.

Candidates with overseas qualifications, or UK qualifications other than those detailed above, are also welcome to apply. Such applicants will normally be expected to provide references. Applicants whose first language is not English will normally be required to provide evidence of English proficiency. This is normally the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) or TOEFL (Testing of English as a Foreign Language). The IELTS is recommended by the University - the acceptable score being between band 7 and band 9 (650 or over in TOEFL).

Copies of Educational certificates and transcripts and evidence of English Language ability must be submitted with the application form. The form should be returned to: C Watson, Faculty of Technology - Computing and Maths programmes; S Locke, Faculty of Technology - Architecture; Civil, Electrical & Mechanical Engineering programmes; or emailed to technology@plymouth.ac.uk
