It will start on 29 September 2008 and is expected to end on 28 September 2011. The JACS code for this programme of study is C100.

In order to register as a student of the University of Bath, you are required to meet the standard terms and conditions set out on the back page of the enclosed Choosing Bath booklet. It is your responsibility to read these very carefully and make sure that you understand them.

In addition, you are required to satisfy the following specific conditions before you may register:

You are required to provide the Graduate Office with your undergraduate degree certificate and transcript (either original documents or copies authenticated by the awarding University), confirming the award and classification/mark of your degree.

We will write to you again to confirm your place once you have met the condition(s) specified above. Please do not wait until you have met the conditions before confirming that you wish to accept the place offered to you.

Your fee status has been assessed as Overseas. Please contact us immediately if you think that this is incorrect.
Fees payable for this programme in the 2008/9 academic year (fees in subsequent years are likely to rise): £12,750.
Training Support Fees: £10,000 (Years 1 & 2); £8000 (Year 3).
Please note that if your fees are to be paid by a sponsor other than the University or a UK Research Council, you will be required to provide the University with written evidence from your sponsor confirming the amount of money to be paid before you will be able to complete registration.

We understand that you are being sponsored by the Malaysian Palm Oil Board.

The University Regulations permit full-time students registered for a PhD to submit a thesis for examination not less than two and not more than four years after initial registration. Full-time students normally complete the necessary research for a PhD within three years. Once the research is completed, and provided that the minimum period of study required for the degree has elapsed, students may transfer from full-time to ‘writing up’ status, for which a reduced fee is payable. The programme has an initial study period during which the student is formally registered for the degree of MPhil. Intending doctoral students transfer from MPhil to PhD registration upon successful completion of a transfer assessment.

Enclosed with this letter is a reply form for you to complete and sign to indicate whether you wish to accept this offer. Also enclosed is a Choosing Bath booklet which contains further information about postgraduate study at the University of Bath.

You are encouraged to visit the University website, the address of which is given at the top of this letter. I look forward to hearing from you soon, and welcoming you to the university in due course.

Yours sincerely
