Approved degrees: what do I need for a PhD? To apply for a PhD, you’ll need to have completed an approved degree. This will usually be either a Master of Philosophy (or an equivalent research master’s degree) or a bachelor’s degree with honours (class IIA or higher) from an approved university.. However, these aren’t the only pathways to meeting the PhD entry requirements.
