Academic criteria

Applicants for a studentship must have obtained, or be about to obtain, a First or Upper Second Class UK Honors degree, or the equivalent qualifications gained outside the UK, in an appropriate area of science or technology. Applicants with a Lower Second Class degree will be considered if they also have a Master’s degree or have significant relevant non-academic experience.

In addition, due to the strong mathematical component of the taught course in the first year and the quantitative emphasis in our projects, a minimum of a grade B in A-level Maths or an equivalent qualification or experience is required.

The University normally expects the academic and English Language requirements (IELTS 6.5 overall with 5.5 in each component) by point of application. Furthermore, for details on the University’s English Language entry requirements, please visit – http://www.swansea.ac.uk/admissions/english-language-requirements/
