Entry requirements
Applicants should have a 2:1 at undergraduate degree level, and have or be completing a Masters degree. Fields of previous study may be Philosophy, Politics or Economics (singularly or in combination).
Other fields of study may be considered, however, it should be clear from your academic record that you are suitably prepared for the research that you propose to do. If your area of previous study is another field, please make sure to discuss this with potential supervisors to ensure you are suitable to apply for this PhD programme.
You should also be able to demonstrate proven interdisciplinary PPE skills and experience.
English language requirements
If English is not your first language, you must provide evidence of your ability.
