Entry Requirements

An upper-second-class Honours degree, or international equivalent, in a science or related discipline is required. You should also provide two satisfactory references.

MRes/PhD and MRes/MD requirements

These are guidelines relevant to applicants applying for integrated MRes/PhD studies but the principles equally apply to 1+2 integrated MRes/MD studies, except noting that MD studies are normally 2 years.

International Students

Students for whom English is not their first language are required to hold a minimum of IELTS 6.5 (with an average of 6.5 and a minimum of 6.5 for each sub-section).

The INTO Newcastle University Centre can provide extra tuition to help you meet our English language requirements.
