Expected Academic Standard
Applicants for this course should have achieved a UK II.i Honours Degree.
If your degree is not from the UK, please check International Qualifications to find the equivalent in your country.
All PhD applicants are expected to have undertaken training or had experience in epidemiology, biostatistics or another subject relevant to their proposed topic of study. Students without such a background are encouraged to do the MPhil in Population Health Sciences before undertaking their doctoral studies. It is unlikely that students without this level of training will be accepted for a PhD.
Continuing students
Students currently studying for the MPhils in Public Health, Epidemiology, and Primary Care, who wish to continue to a PhD, are required to achieve a minimum mark of 70 per cent.
