Entry Requirements
The applicant must identify a potential supervisor (see here for a list of current staff or contact us for assistance). You must seek the agreement in principle of your proposed supervisor before you apply. The applicant and supervisor will then work together to ensure that the abstract, proposal and all associated documentation is submitted.
Application Details
Applications are accepted at any time in the academic year. The first stage is to submit your expression of interest (an abstract and a completed PG1 form) to the Research Officer. We will then review the application to ensure that it is within IADT’s remit and suitable for postgraduate research, and contact you with the outcome. Once this first stage is complete, we ask applicants to complete the second stage (submission of a research proposal and a PG2A form) within six weeks.
This full proposal and accompanying documentation is then reviewed by an appointed external examiner (an expert in your proposed field of research). The final decision on whether to accept a proposal, and so offer a place on the Masters by Research programme, is made by the Head of Faculty.
