MA in Historical Research - How to apply

How to apply

Entry Requirements

The normal minimum entrance requirement is a First or Upper Second Class Honours degree from a university in the United Kingdom, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Applications may also be considered from candidates who do not meet the formal academic requirements, but who offer alternative qualifications or who have considerable work experience in a relevant field. UK applicants are normally asked to attend for interview at the Institute. Overseas applicants may be asked to submit a piece of written work in English, on a relevant historical subject, in lieu of an interview.

Competence in English

All students whose first language is not English must be able to provide recent evidence (gained in the last 3 years) that their written and spoken English language is adequate for postgraduate study. This requirement is specified in order to ensure that the academic progress of students is not hindered by language difficulties and that students are able to integrate socially while studying and living in the UK. For further information please see the School's English language competency requirements.
