How to apply
Apply for postgraduate courses using the University's postgraduate applications online system.
If you apply for a research degree (MA by Research, MPhil or PhD), you will be asked to provide an outline of your chosen research topic. This should be around 1000 words (excluding bibliography) and outline the following:
- What area of research you intend to undertake and why (with reference to the most important relevant bibliography).
- How you propose to conduct the research.
- What background in the subject you already have and any skills you will need to develop further (eg language training).
In order to see whether your proposal falls within our areas of expertise, please see our research and staff pages.
Before you make an official application, we strongly advise applicants to contact the Director of Graduate Studies, Professor Zahra Newby (z dot l dot newby at warwick dot ac dot uk), alongside the relevant member of staff with an outline of your proposed research and a CV outlining your previous qualifications. This is particularly important if you are planning to apply for funding so that we can guide you in your application.
