Study in an English-speaking environment

You can meet the English language requirements for a doctoral programme if you've completed a postgraduate degree in English within the last three years from a recognised institution. If your degree is older than three years, you’ll need to show you've continued using English. We’ll review each case individually.

If your degree is from a place that is not officially recognised as English-speaking, we may ask for more information, including a requirement to undertake an English language proficiency test, to confirm your English skills.
