Key features
A bespoke training pathway tailored to the individual needs of each candidate.
Modules may be chosen from a variety of existing taught masters programmes and can span disciplines and faculties as appropriate.
Personalised expert supervision (you'll be assigned a Director of Studies and an additional supervisor).
A combination of taught modules and personal supervision will support you in developing and conducting your extended research project.
Credits are determined by the supervisor and candidate depending on previous experience and the requirements of the proposed research project element.
Entry Requirement
Academic Requirements:
You will usually need a 2:1 degree from a UK University or equivalent.
If English isn't your first language, you'll need to show evidence of your English language ability. The minimum IELTS test score for entry to a research programme is 6.5 overall, with at least 5.5 in each element of the test. However, some postgraduate research degree programmes are linguistically more demanding, and higher command of the English language and/or higher IELTS scores are required. This will be indicated upon advertisement of that specific research degree study opportunity, upon contact and/or following interview with the applicant.
English Language Requirements:
The following Secure English Language tests (SELTs) are Home Office (UKVI) approved and accepted by the University of Plymouth and the University of Plymouth International College (UPIC). The scores required have been increased from the UKVI minimum specified scores to meet University requirements.
IELTS (Academic)
Trinity College London ISE (only a SELT if taken in the UK)
LanguageCert International ESOL
Pearson PTE Academic
A SELT must be taken at an approved UKVI center.
The other tests and qualifications listed here have been deemed acceptable by the University of Plymouth and UPIC to meet our entry requirements and UKVI requirements for study at RQF 6 and above.
Please note that these tests and qualifications are not SELTs.
When studying on a pre-sessional course or course below RQF 6, a SELT is a mandatory requirement set by UKVI.
If studying at RQF 6 level and above, the University is permitted to accept other qualifications that we deem meet UKVI and our requirements.
