Research degrees

- Students are advised to speak to their Postgraduate Research Tutor about their proposed study.
- After speaking to their Postgraduate Research Tutor, students should submit an application for consideration.
- Students will then receive an offer, which they will need to accept to proceed with their application.
- Students will then receive a Visa Information Form from the Research Degrees Team.
- Their CAS will be issued by the International Student Compliance Team.
