PhD - Bristol Business School (supervised research)

Normally at least a 2:1 or a Masters qualification (official UWE postgraduate-research eligibility page) from a UK university or a degree of comparable standing from outside the UK; research proposal and supervisor discussion required; apply at least four months before the proposed start date. Self-funded projects must map to one of UWE's four research beacons (official guidance). No funding is promised by this row - funded studentships are competitive and some are UK-only; confirm with the school. PAKISTAN: No official UWE Pakistan threshold was retrievable in this research (UWE's country pages are a JavaScript search and the Pakistan page text could not be retrieved; no official Pakistan %/CGPA figure was found in the official pages searched) - do NOT quote any Pakistan figure as official. Applicants are assessed against the programme standard above; confirm the Pakistan requirement with UWE Admissions / the Country Manager for Pakistan before advising. NEVER transfer India's figures to Pakistan: the widely republished 65% Class XII (CBSE/CISCE/WBCHSEB, grade C in five subjects) and 70% English figures are INDIA figures, not Pakistan's. AGGREGATOR/AGENT-ONLY (not official, do not quote as official): Pakistan consultancies report UG via Intermediate + 2-year bachelor's at 65% and PG bachelor's at 60% (2+2 acceptable), study-gap limits (3 years general / 2 years medical - consultancy claim only), and a GBP 8,500 PG deposit after a credibility interview (agent-reported; UWE's official agents page confirms only that a deposit 'may' be required and that fees are paid direct to UWE, never via an agent). AGENT STATUS: UWE says approved agents are listed on the country page; FM Consultants' listing could NOT be confirmed from any published list seen - confirm with UWE before submitting as agent. No UWE-specific Pakistan pause or sponsor-licence suspension was found; UWE is not in the named paused-university lists and was still marketing to Pakistan in 2026 (South Asia transfer campaign + a Pakistan Country Manager), but sector-wide 5%-refusal-rule tightening means re-confirm live Pakistan status with Admissions before submitting any Pakistan application.

7.0 overall, 6.5 in each component (official UWE postgraduate-research eligibility page: all three colleges require this minimum for supervised PhD/MPhil/DPhil)
