Admission requirements

The programme does not assume any previous research training but those admitted should normally have relevant professional experience and be currently engaged in teaching and learning activities as this programme supports professional development activities.

For admission to this programme applicants should normally have:

  • an honours degree (2:1 or above) from a British university or CNAA, and preferably a taught Master's degree; or
  • qualifications of a comparable standard from a university or recognised degree awarding body in another country.

In addition, applicants should normally have at least three years experience of teaching, research or administration in a university, further education college, or comparable institution or similar experience from a commercial or industrial training context.

Participants will need to spend about 12-15 hours studying per week. This includes reading and responding to online discussions, two or three times a week (or as often as you are able to) throughout the programme. This will, of course, vary from participant to participant and from time to time. The flexibility of the VLE medium and form of learning should allow each participant to manage this in ways which suit their professional and personal life, as well as allowing them to participate fully in the online activities associated with the Doctoral programme.

For students whose first language is not English an English Language Test Certificate will be required:

IELTS - Overall 6.5 with at least 6.0 for reading and writing
TOEFL - 93 (min 22 in reading and writing, 20 in speaking and listening)
