General entry requirements
All prospective applicants are welcome to contact the academic departments to discuss their potential application.
Research applicants are particularly encouraged to speak with departments regarding areas of interest and potential supervisors. You are strongly advised to read the research application guidelines.
Please ensure that you have checked the academic and, if appropriate, English language entry requirements for the programme you wish to study before submitting your application. Please also be mindful of any application or funding deadline that might govern your application submission date.
MPhil/MPhilStud/PhD
A UK Bachelor's degree in an appropriate subject, awarded with first or upper second-class Honours, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard from a recognised higher education institute, or a recognised taught Master's degree is required. Some research degrees will require all applicants to hold a Master's degree.
As described in the degree types section, students register for the MPhil degree in the first instance and, subject to satisfactory progression, transfer to the PhD degree in the second year of research.
MD(Res)
Applicants must have been awarded the University of London MBBS, or a registered primary qualification in Medicine and be eligible for full registration or hold limited registration with the General Medical Council (GMC). Applicants are normally hospital clinicians undertaking research associated with their employment.
Other applicants wishing to pursue clinical research should apply for MPhil/PhD admission.
