Bachelors degree: A first-class degree (strongly preferred) in a discipline such as management, social sciences, behavioural sciences, or engineering.

Masters degree: A distinction (strongly preferred) in a discipline such as management, social sciences, behavioural sciences, or engineering.

Candidates must already have a completed MRes (Master of Research) or equivalent from a recognised university. We also consider applications from candidates seeking to transfer their PhDs from other universities who have already completed the MRes (Master of Research).
