Expected Academic Standard
Applicants for this course should have achieved a High II.i Honours Degree.
If your degree is not from the UK, please check International Qualifications to find the equivalent in your country.
Please be aware that this is the minimum criterion for academic results and that attaining the minimum does not guarantee admission to the programme. Higher conditions may be set in some cases.
Students will normally hold an undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline such as biological anthropology, evolutionary biology, zoology, archaeology, psychology, and medical and veterinary sciences. The programme also offers the opportunity for highly motivated students, with a less related academic background, to make the transition to human evolutionary studies.
The programme is designed to accommodate the needs of students with different backgrounds, and the mixture of students from different national, educational and professional backgrounds is a strength of the course.
If you have a non-traditional academic trajectory or your most recent degree is five or more years in the past, please get in touch with the postgraduate admissions administrator before making an application so that we can advise you appropriately.
