Academic Entry Requirements
Published standard: first or upper second class (2:1) honours degree (UK or equivalent), or a 2:2 honours degree with a master's degree at Merit level; research proposal and supervisor availability required; start dates depend on project/supervisor — confirm. IELTS 6.5 overall, no component below 6.0 (IDP/Educatly NTU research pages). PAKISTAN: no Pakistan research-specific threshold is published on NTU's official Pakistan page — the taught-PG CGPA figures (2.5 for 2:2 / 2.9 for 2:1; NUST/QAU/LUMS 2.3/2.7; Punjab 50%/55%) are NOT a research-equivalence guarantee and must NOT be quoted as one; confirm Pakistani qualification equivalence with Admissions and the prospective supervisor. PAKISTAN OPERATIONAL RULE: advance payment + Pre-CAS interview (ONE opportunity only) may be required before CAS for visa-requiring applicants. Funded studentships (home-rate tuition + UKRI-aligned stipend) are advertised separately and are NOT assumed in the fee cell.
