Academic Entry Requirements
PhD via taught modules plus research. Entry: normally a Masters degree in TESOL, Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, Languages or a similar subject (UK-comparable); applicants without the formal qualification but with relevant research experience through professional practice may be asked to complete a research-skills task. Pakistan (official PG threshold applied - no separate research-degree Pakistan threshold published): 4-year Bachelor's GPA 2.6/4.0 or 60%; or 3-year Bachelor's + 2-year Master's at 2.6/4.0 or 60% in both; or 2-year Bachelor's + 2-year Master's at 2.6/4.0 or 60% in both. Confirm 2:1 equivalence with Admissions - do not assume 2.6/60% alone meets a 2:1 PhD standard. Pakistan applicants must take a SELT. No approved-agent-only, region-exclusion, deposit-before-CAS or study-gap rule was found on Stirling's official Pakistan page.
