Requirements for each PhD project vary but generally, we are looking for applicants who hold or expect to receive:

A first or upper second-class honours degree in a relevant subject area. If your qualifications are not from a UK university, QMUL also considers recognised equivalent qualifications from accredited overseas institutions and equivalent professional qualifications.
The following information may also be factored into your application:

A masters qualification is desirable but not always essential.
