Entry requirements
The minimum requirement for entry to research
degree study at York St John is normally a second class honours
degree for a PhD or MPhil and an upper second class honours degree
for an MA or MSc by Research. Advice on equivalent levels of
qualification, e.g. overseas degrees, may be sought from the Deputy
Registrar: Research, John Rule E: j.rule@yorksj.ac.uk.
York St John University requires applicants
whose first language is not English to meet the University of
Leeds’ minimum English language entry requirements for research
degree candidates. These are currently one of the
following:
- Successful completion of a Bachelors or Masters degree at a
University in a majority English speaking country, where the
language of tuition has been English;
- The British Council IELTS band score 6.0 overall (with not less
than 5.5 in any component score);
- An IBT TOEFL score of 87 overall (with no less than 21 in
listening, 22 in reading, 23 in speaking and 21 in writing);
- A Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE) of 59 overall, with no
less than 59 in any component).
IELTS, TOEFL or PTE tests must have been
completed within the last two years.
Where students have satisfied these English
language requirements, but further English language training needs
are identified after admission, further training is available.
