• As soon as possible after submitting your application, you should make sure that your two academic referees have submitted their references using the secure links emailed to them by the Warwick Postgraduate Admissions office.
  Alternatively hard-copies of their references (written and signed on headed paper from the institution to which your academic referees belong) can be sent to the Physics Department Postgraduate Admissions team (addresses can be found here).
  
  You will also need to submit original transcripts and/or degree certificates from your undergraduate degree(s) (or officially certified copies thereof). Degree certificates, after being approved by the Postgraduate Admissions Office, will be sent back to you.
  
  If it is not possible to submit your supporting documents at the time of applying, please send these to either the Warwick Postgraduate Admissions Office or Physics department (addresses can be found here) as quickly as possible.
  
  Note: emailed or scanned documents (including references) are not acceptable.
  
  
• Potential students will be invited for interview in the Department and offers will be made to the most promising applicants.
  Please note that we will continue to consider applications submitted, until all places are filled.
  
  
• Typically all postgraduate study will begin at the start of the academic year but this is flexible and can be altered based on scholarship and funding conditions.
