How to apply

Entry requirements for University of the Arts

IELTS (Academic) - 7.0 Overall (Minimum 6.0 All Sections).

　　Minimum entry requirement is an upper second class honours (2:1) degree or equivalent from a recognised higher education institution.

　　However, a master's degree in an appropriate subject is considered to be a particularly valuable preparation for the academic and intellectual demands of an MPhil or PhD.

　　In some instances, applicants without the minimum academic requirement may be considered for a place if they can demonstrate appropriate alternative qualifications, relevant professional experience, or previous research.

　　Teaching experience is not a requirement for applicants, the quality of your research is the most important element of your application.
