1. Can I apply if my first degree is not an engineering, science or technology discipline?
You can still apply, but we will look to your CV for evidence to demonstrate that you have the required technical knowledge, if your first degree does not demonstrate this.
2. Can I apply if I will graduate from my first degree after the application deadline?
You must supply a graduation certificate with your application.
3. Do I have to submit IELTS or TOEFL results? Am I exempt?
Generally, unless English is your first language or you have been educated in a country where English is the official first language, then you must include TOEFL or IELTS test scores with your application. The UK Borders Agency (UKBA) will announce terms of a new 'Points Based System' for student entry to the UK in 2009. Please see the web pages of the University of Strathclyde's International and Graduate Office and the UK Borders agency for updated information. The International and Graduate Office, The UKBA
4. Can I send my TOEFL score to you directly through ETS?
Yes you can. Please advise ETS to send test certificates to the administrating institution, The University of Strathclyde, using institution code 0841. Please be aware that it can take several weeks for scores to reach us from ETS, therefore close to the deadline it is advisible to send directly to us. If your scores arrive after the deadline your application will not be considered.
5. My IELTS/TOEFL test scores have expired, will you still accept these?
No. Test scores must be valid at least up until summer 2010 to facilitate visa applications for the UK.
6. I already have reference letters, do I also need to complete the standard reference forms?
No. You can use the reference letters that you already have instead of completing these forms as long as they include similar information to that requested in the forms.
7. Can/should I send other documentation that has not been asked for in your guidelines?
No. We will not consider any documentation other than the items we have requested. If you send any additional documentation it will be considered that you have not followed our application guidelines, which may weaken your application.
8. Can I send my references/IELTS/TOEFL at a later date?
We would strongly prefer that all documentation is sent in the same package. Selection decisions will be made directly after the deadlines stated, if documents are missing at this time, your application will be considered incomplete.
9. My degree certificate/transcripts and/or references are not in English, will you accept these?
We can only except documentation in English. We will accept official translations and would suggest that you consult your local British Council office for advice. The British Council Homepage
10. What is a cover letter?
A cover letter is essentially a letter of motivation. There are many guides to writing cover letters available on the internet.
11. Am I eligible to receive an Erasmus Mundus scholarship?
Please consult the The Erasmus Mundus Programme Guide.
12. I am a European applicant, can I apply for a scholarship?
Yes. In 2010 the Eramus Mundus II programme provides scholarships for EU graduates.
