ERAS Application

The ERAS scheme application process is outlined here for information. 

Application Process

All applicants must submit as a single PDF document the following:-

If applicable the PDF document should also include:-

• You should attach a copy of any request for exemption to point 1 of the eligibility criteria to your application.

Submission

• Your application should be emailed to the dedicated mailbox (DoctoralCollege@wlv.ac.uk) 

Faculty Approval
