The Department welcomes all enquiries. Applications for admission to all programmes should be made on the 'Lancaster University Application for Admission for Postgraduate Study' form.
Any applicant is welcome to visit the department for informal discussions.
A personal interview will be quickly arranged wherever possible and a short entrance test may be used as well. Applicants for the Doctoral Programme can apply and commence studies at any time of the year, although the best time is at the start of an academic year. All candidates must, before entry, make arrangements for their financial support and for the payments of their fees throughout their studies at the University. A booklet is available on request from the Postgraduate Admissions Office entitled 'Funding for Postgraduate Study' and information is also provided on the University admissions pages . If your standard of English does not quite meet these requirements, the University runs pre-sessional English Language courses.
