PhD in Drama, Theatre and Performance (Research Degrees)

Grade standard: No published UK classification on the current official research page; PhD entry is proposal- and supervisor-led (research proposal, sample writing and references, plus interview with prospective supervisor - confirm the current proposal length and deadline with Admissions, as aggregator claims of a 1,500-word proposal and a 1 May deadline are NOT verified on the official page). IELTS 7.0 overall, no component below 6.0 (official SELT page; some aggregators quote no component below 6.5 - conflict preserved, official figure used here; SELT evidence due by 1 August of enrolment year). Selection: INTERVIEW with prospective supervisor/panel; supervisor availability governs admission, not a fixed course round. Pakistan: NO official Pakistan threshold found on Central's own site (International Applicants and English Language Requirements pages searched Oct 2026; no country-specific Pakistan page retrievable) - applicants are assessed against the programme standard below; confirm Pakistani bachelor equivalence with Admissions (admissions@cssd.ac.uk) before advising. Do NOT quote aggregator figures as official and do NOT transfer another country's figures to Pakistan. Overseas deposit and CAS rules as for taught courses. Overseas offer-holders pay a GBP 2,000 deposit to accept; CAS is issued only after the offer is accepted, English is met and the deposit is paid (official fees page 2026/27).

IELTS 7.0 overall, no component below 6.0
