Applications

Postgraduate Admissions Office are able to provide all necessary documentation to enable you to apply for any of our courses.

Application Forms and Reference Forms are available to download from the following link. http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/postgrad/howtoapply/forms/

Any application must be supported by two confidential academic references. 

If applying for a research degree you are required to submit a research proposal with your application.  The research proposal will be assessed by the Department to see if it has sufficient academic rigour for the proposed level of research and to examine if the research proposal exhibits an adequate understanding of the subject area.

Applications for all courses are welcomed at any time of the year although entry is only available in January or September of each year for research degrees. We will endeavour to process your application within four weeks of receipt for a Masters Course and six weeks for a Research Course.
