Application documents required for (SBS) Postgraduate courses

• Online application form#
• 2 x academic references, signed, dated and on letter headed paper. The admissions team does not chase references directly so you must contact your referees yourself.
• Academic transcripts in English.
  Current UoM students can request an ‘unofficial’ transcript from the SBS Student Support office or their relevant School and upload it as part of their application or UoM graduates can download an electronic version from https://edocs.manchester.ac.uk/ and upload it as part of their application. On both occasions, the transcript will say it’s ‘unofficial’ but this is fine for initial applications. Unfortunately the admissions team can’t generate a transcript or download an e-transcript from edocs on behalf of the student.
• Personal statement (except MRes Psychology)
• CV (except MRes Psychology)
• Degree certificate if you have completed your undergraduate studies.

You do not normally need to provide a research proposal for an application to a postgraduate taught course, only for research programmes (e.g. PhD, MPhil). MRes courses are still considered taught courses, so you do not need to submit a research proposal if you are applying for an MRes, unless specified otherwise on the course specific webpage.

Evidence of English language
If you are an international student who completed your degree at The University of Manchester, you do not need to provide evidence of your English language ability, such as IELTS. The University can vouch for your level of English and waive this requirement as long as you completed at least two years of your undergraduate study at the University.

Submitting supporting documents
All supporting documents can either be uploaded with your application or sent at a later date by email to the relevant admissions team. The correct admissions team email can be found on the appropriate coursefinder page for the programme you are interested in.
Once you have submitted your application you can no longer upload documents, so any outstanding documents have to be emailed to the admissions team. You must quote your University of Manchester ID number so we can attach your documents to your application.
