PhD Sport and Exercise Science

Normally a Master's degree from a UK university or equivalent (IDP/official research guidance); 80,000–100,000-word thesis + viva; research-skills training programme required. PhD intakes are research terms (October/February pattern on IDP listings). PAKISTAN (research): no official Pakistan-specific research threshold was found on St Mary's official pages in this pass. Applicants are assessed against the published programme standard; the taught-PG Pakistan rule (Bachelor's + Master's; 2:1 = 70%/2.8, 2:2 = 65%/2.6, official 'Students from Pakistan' page) is NOT a research equivalence and must not be quoted as one. Confirm Pakistani Master's equivalence, proposal and supervisor availability with Admissions. No Pakistan-specific restriction found on the official Pakistan page.

6.5 overall (CONFLICT: IDP lists 7.0 for some St Mary's PhDs — confirm)
