Application Materials

  • An official transcript.
  • A curriculum vitae (or resume, with elaboration), should be no longer than two pages.
  • A typewritten personal statement summarizing the areas of the applicant's major academic interest and the course of study proposed to be taken in Great Britain. This will require some research on the part of the nominee and, preferably, prior discussion with faculty members who have had some experience with educational institutions in Great Britain so that the proposed course of study abroad will have a relationship to what the nominee has done as an undergraduate and to the nominee's career objectives.
  • Three letters of recommendation from faculty members with whom the applicant has worked closely saying, in substance, that the candidate is believed to be capable of academic work which should result in the nominee's obtaining a good Honours degree in his or her field of interest.
