In some instances, applicants without this requirement may be considered if they can demonstrate appropriate alternative qualifications, professional experience or previous research and an understanding of research methodologies appropriate to their proposed programme of study.

If English is not your first language, you’ll need to meet our English language entry requirements by providing one of the following:

A recent AUB approved English Language Test (ELT) – such as an IELTS 7.0 with a 7.0 in writing and with no other component score lower than 6.0, or an equivalent test score. Your qualification needs to have been awarded no more than 2 years prior to your enrolment date.

You can apply before you receive your English Language Test or MA certificate. If you’re offered a place, you’ll need to show your qualification before enrolment.

Applicants should be aware that meeting the University’s minimum entry requirements does not guarantee entry. This is only one of the factors taken into account when the University makes its decision. Many other factors are also important, such as the availability of suitable supervisors and resources; suitability for research degree study at AUB; relevant experience; and references.

• An upper second class honours degree (2:1) from a recognised higher education institution.
• Also, a Master’s level qualification in an appropriate subject to be considered for registration for MPhil / PhD at AUB.
