Applications and Entry Requirements

All applications have to be submitted via the Kent website. Students who want to study the first year in Marburg have also have to submit their application via the Kent website.

In addition to filling in the application form, you also need to provide:

Evidence of your academic qualifications. If you have not yet completed your degree, please send us an interim transcript (a list of all the modules/courses you have taken with the mark achieved for each). Once you have been awarded your degree we will require a final transcript and a certificate confirming your overall degree classification. For the purposes of application a copy of your transcript is acceptable, however you will need to show us the original copy upon registration.

References from two academic referees. All references must be in English. The university needs to receive both references before deciding on your application. If you apply online, your referee will be sent an automatic email requesting a reference. We can accept references by email, provided your referees use their institutional email account and follow up the email with copies written on official letter-headed paper and signed by the referee.

Evidence of English language ability, if required.

Any other materials or documents you would like to have considered in support of your application, such as e.g. samples of your academic work (recommended). Please visit the University of Kent website for further information.
