Visiting research students

Visiting Research Student (VRS) status allows research students at other universities to spend up to one academic session at the School at the discretion of the department concerned. A supervisor is assigned to every VRS, and you can take up to four full unit taught courses. Examinations are optional, and grades do not contribute towards a degree or diploma. A full transcript of studies can be produced at the end of the period of study. Other graduate students may also seek registration as a VRS to take graduate level courses without the commitment of registering for a degree programme.

The application procedure is to apply for the MPhil/PhD.   You can find details of this as well as the fees in the Graduate Prospectus| but please use the application code for visiting status - M1EG.
