ENGlISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY AND OTHER QUAlIFICATlONS 
AI1 applicants are required to provide evidence of their ability in English since 
a good command of the language is essential to study for a postgraduate degree. It is the admitting School or Faculty that will determine, as part of the decisión on admission, whether an applicant's competence in the English language is sufficient for the programme to whieh he/she has applied. The minimum English Language requirements for admission to individual programmes are stated in the Postgraduate Prospectus. These normally take the form of a recognised English language qualification such as GCSE English Language, International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), although there are a number of other acceptable qualifications. Applicants who have already successfully completed, or are successfully completing, a full-time university degree (le Bachelor's or Master's) in the UK of a minimum of one year's duration would normally be exempt from these requirements. Applicants who have taken a degree outside the UK but delivered in the English language may also be considered for an exemption from the requirements but this will be at the discretion of the admitting School or Faculty. Applicants with less than the minimum requirements may be automatically rejected or will be asked to retake the relevant examinations. Alternatively, they rnay need to successfully complete one of the English language courses at the University's Language Centre precedinq entry to their programme of study. Applicants will be notified at the point of offer of any such conditions. 
Professional or other non-academie qualifications - Please Iist any of these you have obtained. Please note that the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAD or Manchester Admission Test (MAD is a mandatory requirement for non-UK degree holders applying to certain business, management and finance programmes (as indicated in the current Postgraduate Prospectus). 
PROFESSIONAUPREVIOUS EXPERIENCE 
Please give details of any relevant professional/ previous experience related to your proposed field of study. Do not simply attach a resume/curriculum vitae (CV) unless specifically instructed to do so. Please note that work experience is a requirement for so me programmes. Use a separate sheet if you require more space. This section will be particularly relevant to students who want to be considered under the University's accreditation for prior experientiallearning (APEL) policy, ie the process of awarding academic credits for uncertificated learning gained from experience. More information is available on APEL from the School in whieh you wish to study. 
REFERENCES 
It ís your responsibility to provide references from two people (referees) who have knowledge of your academic or professional ability in support of your application. Members of your family cannot provide references. In most cases, it would be appropriate for both references to be academic references (eg from a lecturer or professor from your last university). However if, for example, your academic studies occurred some time ago it might be more appropriate to submit recommendations from those familiar wlth your professional performance. If you have difficulty in identifying suitable referees you should seek the advice of the relevant admissions tutor. 
References must be submitted on official headed paper and must be signed. 
A completed copy of the University's 'Referee Report Form', which ensures that certain information is provided by the re fe re e, must also accompany each letter of reference. You are advised to return references with your application to speed up the application process but they can be sent at a later date if necessary. 
FUNDING

Some laboratory-based programmes may also require a bench fee to cover additional materials and/or equipment. Please give as much detail as possible about your known or anticipated funding arrangements. Further advice on fe es and funding is available on the University's website and in the Postgraduate Prospectus. You may also Iike to contact the Schooi in which you intend to study for information about possible sources of funding.
