To embark upon Doctoral study students are expected to show previous aptitude for research. This is most often illustrated by the previous award of a good degree (2:1 or above). However it is acknowledged that some students will not be in possession of such a qualification and the interview will explore their potential to successfully complete the programme. They need to demonstrate they are or have been active in professional practice in the area of criminal justice.
Students with an undergraduate degree will commence at Stage 1 of the Professional Doctorate programme.
Holders of a relevant Master’s degree (Pass) may enter directly at Stage Two of the Professional Doctorate programme, subject to an interview.
If you do not possess a relevant Master’s degree but want to progress to the Professional Doctorate programme at Stage 2, UCLan and other universities provide a considerable choice on relevant Master’s degrees. Please speak to the course leader for further information.
Applicants will be required to have a minimum level of proficiency in English Language equivalent to IELTS grade 6.5 with no sub score lower than 6.0.
ALL applicants will be interviewed prior to acceptance on the course and if appropriate an AP(E)L application will be considered.
