2:1
in a relevant subject or overseas equivalent, or relevant professional qualifications and relevant experience in an associated area.
If you are interested in applying, please visit our how to apply page where you can find general information on the application process and access the online application form.
Applications should be submitted by 31 July.
Normally we require a UK 2:1 (Honours) or equivalent in relevant subjects but we will consider high 2:2 or relevant work experience. Candidates with professional qualifications in an associated area may be considered. Where a ‘good 2:2’ is considered, we would normally define this as reflecting a profile of 57% or above. Please submit the following supporting information when making your application:
a short research proposal
a sample of written work in English, which should take the form of a short academic essay or review of a theatre production (2,000 words in total)
a copy of the degree certificate/transcript from your undergraduate degree (this can be a transcript of your progress so far if you have not yet completed it)
a copy of your English language qualification (if English is not your first language) - if you have not completed an IELTS or recognised test yet, you can submit your application without it and then forward your results once they are available
a supporting statement, explaining your motivation for studying your chosen programme
one academic reference - your referee can upload this directly to the online system or email it to the Postgraduate Administrator (ally.williams@royalholloway.ac.uk)
and copies of any other qualifications that are relevant to your chosen programme.
Please note that we will not be able to consider applications until we have received the writing samples.
We may invite suitable applicants for an interview, either in person or via Skype.
