PHD ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

The Doctor of Philosophy degree is a research degree undertaken with the guidance of a supervisor for a minimum period of two years.

PhD applicants need to:

  • Demonstrate that they have the necessary competencies in research methodology and practice required for the completion of an independent study research degree.
  • Nominate a suitable supervisor with the application.

International applicants for whom English is a second language are required to submit one of the
following, unless this requirement is waived by the GSB Research Director:

  • A recent score on the TOEFL Test of at least 570 (paper-based) or 230 (computer-based) or 88 (internet-based).  This must be obtained within 3-5 years before applying to UCT.
  • A recent overall band score of 7.0 (with no individual element of the test scoring below 6.0) on the international English Language Testing System (IELTS).

Information on the TOEFL test is available here. For the IELTS contact the British consulate or embassy in the applicant’s home country.
