Hello all

I would like to know if it is possible to do a PhD after finishing a BA Hons (without any master), i.e. if the BA Hons gives direct access to PhD programmes. Thank you very much.

Yes, it is. I'm due to start a phD in October and I have a BSc (hons).

Hi Vicky

Could I ask you what requirements did you have to fulfil in order to have access a PhD? And what university did you apply for? Thanks a lot

Hi Silvia, what is your field? Although a masters is not usually required for PhD admission in science (if you have a 2.1 or a first), it may be required if you are wishing to study non-science subjects such as Arts or History.

Ann's right. I'm social sciences and was told I needed a Masters to get on a PhD programme.

Most Arts, Humanities and Social Science PhDs require a masters degree from candidates. Have a look at our guide to PhDs in the Arts & Humanities
