Expected Academic Standard
Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK Good II.i Honours Degree.
If your degree is not from the UK, please check International Qualifications to find the equivalent in your country.
You are expected to have undertaken training or had experience in epidemiology, biostatistics or another subject relevant to your proposed topic of study. Applicants without such a background are encouraged to do the MPhil in Population Health Sciences before undertaking their doctoral studies. It is unlikely that applicants without this level of training will be accepted for a PhD.
Continuing students
Students studying for the MPhil who wish to continue to a PhD, are required to achieve a high standard across modules and the dissertation.
