Academic Entry Requirements
Postgraduate research degree (by practice or by thesis) in design-led innovation research; dedicated supervisory team and seasonal research schools. Full-time 1 year (part-time 2 years). Also offered at GSA Highlands & Islands and in a Low Residency (blended) mode - this row is the full-time on-campus mode only; do not advise the blended mode as a Student-visa route without confirming. Eligible students may articulate to PhD Year 2 (full-time). PAKISTAN: No official Pakistan-specific threshold was found on gsa.ac.uk after genuine searching (no Pakistan country page retrieved; GSA programme specifications direct non-UK/Ireland applicants to GSA's general International pages, which publish no Pakistan HSSC/bachelor % in the material retrieved) - applicants are assessed against the programme standard above, with portfolio/interview decisive; confirm direct-entry eligibility for HSSC or Pakistani bachelor qualifications with GSA Admissions before advising. Do NOT quote aggregator figures (e.g. Collegedunia Class XII 60-85% or bachelor's 55%, IDP GPA 3.0 summaries) as official, and do NOT transfer India figures to Pakistan. Deposit: international deposit GBP 6,400 payable after accepting an offer; CAS is not issued until it is paid (official GSA Fees & Finance 2026/27). All GSA degrees are validated by the University of Glasgow.
