You need to submit the following supporting documents listed
below with your online application. Please follow the Board
of Graduate Studies' guidelines on how to submit supporting
documents (applicants will be required to submit all documents
electronically).
- Two academic references. It would be helpful if
applicants could request their referees to
include
some indication of the applicant's ranking, either relative to the
student’s
year group, or relative to the best qualified students in the
referee’s
experience. If additional references would help your case, please
feel free to provide these.
- Full official transcript. If these are in
a language
other
than English, a formal certified translation into English is required.
Applicants who are in their final year of a
degree
should include, either on the transcript or separately, a list of the
subjects
they are taking in their final year.
- GRE General Test scores (not required if the applicant has
a degree
from
a UK institution). GRE results
are reported by ETS direct to the
Faculty of Economics and it is the applicant’s responsibility to
ensure
that these are received by the due date.
- Evidence of proficiency in the English language (not
required if
English
is the applicant’s native tongue). If you have not taken a
language proficiency test you do not need to take it before you apply,
but if you are made an offer, one of the conditions of admission will
be that you pass a test at the correct level.
- Scholarship award letter (not required if
financial
support
is still to be confirmed).
The Faculty of Economics reserves the right not to consider
applications
which are not complete by the due date, or to consider them in their
incomplete
state, at its discretion.
