You need to submit the following supporting documents listed
below with your online application. Please follow the Board
of Graduate Studies' guidelines on how to submit supporting
documents (applicants will be required to submit all documents
electronically).
- Two academic
references. It would be helpful if applicants
could
request their referees to include some indication of the applicant's
ranking, either relative to the student’s year group, or
relative
to the best qualified students in the referee’s
experience.
If additional references would help your case, please feel free to
provide these.
- Full
official transcript. If these are in
a language other than English, a formal certified translation into
English is required. Applicants from North
America should include with their application a GPA relating
specifically to economics and quantitative courses taken, in addition
to the overall GPA. Applicants who are in their final year of
a
degree should include, either on the transcript or separately, a list
of the subjects they are taking in their final year.
- GRE General Test
scores (not required if the applicant has
a degree from a
UK
institution). GRE results are
reported by ETS
direct to the Faculty of Economics and it is the applicant’s
responsibility to ensure that these are received by the due date.
- Evidence of
proficiency in the English language (not
required if English is the applicant’s native
tongue). If
you have not taken a language proficiency test you do not need to take
it before you apply, but if you are made an offer, one of the
conditions of admission will be that you pass a test at the correct
level.
- Scholarship award letter (not required if
financial support is still to be confirmed).
- Details (course
syllabus and textbooks used) of
microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and mathematical economics
courses taken. This should be a concise document detailing what
you have covered in each of these subjects with the textbooks used.
The Faculty of Economics reserves the
right not to consider applications which are not complete by the due
date, or to consider them in their incomplete state, at its discretion.
