We use this information to help us determine whether you are qualified to study on the programme for which you have applied. Please give full details of the higher education courses you have undertaken to date including any not yet completed. In particular list those which you think are relevant to the programme for which you are applying. We only require information about higher education not your secondary school results.

If you have already graduated you should indicate the final mark/grade from your degree level programme and the date you were awarded the degree. If you are still studying please submit a set of academic transcripts for all your courses completed to date. Please indicate the date on which you expect to be awarded the degree.

If you studied outside the UK you must provide evidence of your qualifications with details of your final mark/cumulative grade point average (CGPA). We use this information to determine how your qualification compares to a UK Bachelor's degree.

All transcripts/certificates submitted as supporting documentation must be either original or certified copies and, where necessary, translated into English.

Please note that the Postgraduate Office will not be able to return any documents that you submit with your application. If you wish to retain the originals of your documentation you are therefore advised to submit a certified copy.

Before you begin your studies you must have a thorough command of written and spoken English. If your first language is not English you must obtain or provide evidence of one of the following recognised English Language qualifications:

If you do not achieve one of the above scores please send in your certificate anyway. In such cases the University may recommend that you re-take the test or that you attend pre-sessional English courses provided by the University.

If you have not yet taken the test please do not delay submitting your postgraduate application form. In such cases, the University will make you an offer of a place conditional on you obtaining the required grade.

Please note that if you have studied for at least 12 months at an institution of higher education either in the UK, USA, Canada or Australia then you will not need an English Language certificate. If you have been educated entirely in English then you may provide written evidence of this with your application.

Please give details of any relevant professional experience or employment (include vacation work only if relevant). Give details also of any experience or training in advanced study or research, including publications and practical experience. This information is especially important in cases where your professional experience or employment is directly relevant to the programme for which you are applying and/or where you are unable to satisfy the standard academic entry requirements.

This is your opportunity to explain the reasons why you are applying for this programme. Please outline your special academic interests and your purpose and objective in undertaking postgraduate study. This information is important in the selection process.

If you are applying for a research degree you will need a research proposal and if you are particularly interested in the work of one of our members of faculty or a research team you may wish to consider requesting a particular supervisor. The subject pages of our prospectus www.sussex.ac.uk/Units/publications/pgrad2007/programmes seek to provide relevant information about our research specialists and you may wish to contact a member of faculty directly to discuss your interests.

The amount of detail required in a research proposal varies between subjects. Social science and humanities subjects tend to require a highly developed research proposal giving a clear outline of the specific research area. However, in some science subjects it is more usual to outline a general area of interest, as the nature of the research discipline is more tied to ongoing research projects, the availability of experimental equipment, etc. Again a discussion with an academic contact in the department will help clarify the right level of detail for your research proposal.

Please also provide details of any publications and of any other research experience and/or relevant preliminary reading that you have already undertaken.

If you are successful in your application to the University of Sussex, you will need to demonstrate that you can pay the fees and support yourself financially throughout your programme of study.

You should provide details of any award for which you are applying or award that you currently hold. You should also indicate how you will fund your studies if you do not receive funding (for example, you may be funding yourself from your own savings).

If you have been permanently resident outside the European Union (EU) for the last three years, not including periods of residence as a student, you may be liable to pay overseas tuition fees. The overseas tuition fees are higher than the fees for EU students.

If there is any doubt about whether you qualify for EU or overseas tuition fees you will automatically be sent a fee status questionnaire.

The information you provide in this section will be used to help us plan our recruitment strategy. It will not affect the way your application is considered in any way. We are interested to find out how you first heard about the University, which information sources you used and whether you are applying to more than one university.

References play an important role in the selection process. Referees should normally be academic staff from your previous educational institution who are able to comment in detail on your ability to cope with the academic demands of the programme for which you are applying. If you graduated some time ago your two references should include at least one such referee.

You must provide two academic references. In choosing your referees, please be sure that the referee is willing to provide you with a reference. You also need to be sure that your referee is available to provide you with a reference as a delay in sending a reference may result in a delay in the consideration of your application.

The online application form and paper form provide details of how your references should be submitted. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that your references have been submitted to the University.

Consideration of this section of the application form is separate to the assessment of your academic suitability. Please provide the information as appropriate to your particular circumstances.
