Qualifications
Applicants for the MLitt should normally have a good first degree in philosophy: a very strong upper second class honours degree or its equivalent (or the equivalent level of pass in the SASP Conversion Diploma).
Applicants for direct entry to the PhD must have a very good masters degree in Philosophy.
All SASP courses are taught in English. Applicants who are NOT native speakers AND whose undergraduate degree was NOT taught in English must submit a recognised English Language test. We normally require a TOEFL score of 600 (paper-based). 250 (computer-based), or 100 (internet-based). A copy of your TOEFL certificate will be sufficient. Alternatively an IELTS score of 7.00. (Ideally we prefer the IELTS exam.)
The university of St Andrews offers pre-sessional English courses - you can find out more about them on the website of the St Andrews University English Language Teaching Centre.
