Making an Application • Check the degree programmes available and all relevant entry requirements for both the Faculty and the specific degree programme in which you are interested (on pages 52-85). UCAS applicants must choose a specific degree programme. Applicants from outside Scotland should be aware that the Scottish MA (Master of Arts) is an undergraduate degree equivalent to the BA (Bachelor of Arts) in the rest of the UK.
• Choose which of the four Faculties – Arts, Divinity, Medicine or Science – is for you. The choice is dictated by: (i) the qualifications you possess and (ii) the nature of the degree programme you propose to follow. In most cases the choice of Faculty is obvious, but there are seven subject areas that are available in both the Arts and Science Faculties: Economics, Geography, Management, Mathematics, Philosophy, Psychology and Sustainable Development. For these subject areas, your qualifications or the other subjects you would like to study in the first two years will help you decide whether to apply for an MA or a BSc degree. If you would like to study other subjects offered only in the Faculty of Arts, you should choose the MA version of the degree. See pages 12-17.
Applicants interested in applying for a degree in either Economics or Management should note that if they apply for the BSc degree (in the Faculty of Science), they will be required, during their first two years, to take at least two modules (40 credits) in one of the following Science subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography, Mathematics, Physics or Psychology. If these science subjects do not interest you then you should choose the MA degree in the Faculty of Arts. See pages 13 and 16.
• Choose carefully the major subject(s) you wish to study. You will be required, in your first year, to take modules in the subject(s) for which you were given an offer of admission. Most students also take other First level modules, up to a maximum of three each semester, from a range of other subjects. However, for a small number of popular subjects, students will only be guaranteed entry to the first year modules if they have been admitted to the University to take a degree in that subject.
Apply for 2012 entry between 1 September 2011 and 15 January 2012
• No distinction is drawn between applications which arrive early and those that arrive at UCAS on 15 January.
• Please note Medical students from UK/EU must apply by 15 October 2011 and for non-EU students by 31 January 2012.
• There is a later closing date (30 June) for non-EU nationals who do not qualify for Home (UK/EU) fee status.
• Most degree programmes attract a large number of applications from very well qualified applicants. When making decisions on applications, Admissions Officers place considerable emphasis on your Personal Statement. This should address your choice of degree programme. References to extra-curricular activities and interests should highlight your personal qualities and how they might be relevant to the successful completion of your choice of degree programme.
• You are responsible for the accuracy of all statements made concerning qualifications and may be required to submit original certificates at matriculation if your application is successful.
