How to Apply for our Masters programmes
- The application form
- Please fill in the appropriate on-line application form for the Masters programme you are interested in:
- Two references
- You must arrange for two references to be provided to us. These should be written by two people who know you well. At least one reference must be written by someone who taught you when you studied for a previous degree.
- Transcripts of grades or marks
- We must receive a list of the subjects you have studied in your previous degrees. This list should include the marks or grades you were given for each subject. If you haven't finished your degree, you should send a transcript of the grades you were awarded in the previous years.
- A statement of research (for the MSc Advanced Computer Science ONLY)
- The MSc in Advanced Computer Science is research oriented, and includes two mini-projects and a summer project, written in the style of a peer-reviewed scientific journal paper. Your application should include two sides of A4 with research interests and tentative ideas that you plan to develop for these three projects. They should normally be close to the research interest of the School (please consult the web pages of lecturers, professors and research staff). Once you are admitted, you will have an opportunity to revise or change your research plans after discussion with your project supervisors. But it is important at application time to know that you are interested and have potential skills for research, as well as some tentative plans. The Statement of Research is an opportunity for you to demonstrate this.
- English language certificate (if English is not your first language)
