Applying for a PhD

Once you have decided to apply to study for a PhD at Lancaster, please start your online application as soon as possible: Postgraduate Admissions, you can also access the online postgraduate prospectus from here.

Using the online application process - MyLancaster - you will be advised which documentation you need to upload or send to the University.

The supporting documentation screen will provide you with a list of required documents. These will usually include:

• transcripts of previous higher education (college/university) degrees or other courses that you have completed/for which you are currently studying. Note that, for transcripts in languages other than English, a certified English translation will be required.
• references
• for those for whom English is not their first language, copies of English language test results.

You will also need to identify a topic and once you have completed your on-line application we try and help you find a potential staff member or two who you might like to supervise you.
