How to apply

Entry requirements for University of Exeter

You'll need a good first degree (i.e. at least the equivalent of an Upper Second Class Honours Degree from a UK university) in the relevant subject, and a taught Masters degree in the discipline is normally required. Applicants with ESRC-accredited Masters degrees are especially welcome to apply, as are those with merit or distinction-level qualifications. Masters degrees should be in a subject relevant to the proposed research, and it is particularly advantageous if research methods and techniques as well as independent research (e.g. dissertation or project) featured prominently in the curriculum. If you don't yet have a Masters degree but are wishing to undertake research you may be offered a place on one of the School's taught MRes*, MSc or MA programmes instead of direct +3 entry. We don't offer a formal four-year New Route PhD programme, so you would join the MRes/MSc/MA programme and then apply for the MPhil/PhD programme in that first year. Acceptance would be conditional on your performance in the taught programme. IELTS (Academic) - Overall score 6.5. No less than 6.0 in any section. TOEFL IBT* - Overall score 90 with minimum scores of 21 for writing, 21 for listening, 22 for reading and 23 for speaking.
