The University of the West of Scotland's (UWS) postgraduate programs require overseas applicants to have a relevant degree, be proficient in English, and provide supporting documentation. Degree certificates, academic transcripts, English language test results (if relevant), a signed academic reference, a curriculum vitae, evidence of funding, and visa details, if required, are usually among these documents. Generally speaking, one needs a good honors degree (usually a first or upper second-class honors degree) or an equivalent credential from an accredited university.
