We advise all applicants to apply as early as possible after doing sufficient research into the course, funding available, and the University as a whole.
Applications to our courses open in early September. There are two deadlines you need to consider for your application.
- Course deadline
- Funding deadline
You must apply by whichever deadline comes first and this will depend on the course you have chosen and your funding status. If your application (including supporting documents) is not submitted by the relevant deadline, it will be withdrawn.
All application deadlines are 23:59pm (midnight) UK time on the stated date.
Course deadlines
All courses have a deadline and applications cannot normally be considered after this date.
To find the deadline for your course, and details of which supporting documents need to be submitted (at the same time), check your course entry in the course directory.
You should not wait until the day of the deadline to submit your application or supporting documents, as there is no guarantee that places will still be available. If a course closes early, the course directory will be updated accordingly.
Occasionally, deadlines for some subjects may be extended, so you may still be able to apply even if the original deadline has passed. You should check the course page for updates.
Funding deadlines
Funding deadlines vary according to your chosen course and the funding source. Check the course directory to find out which funding deadline applies to you - these appear in the sidebar of every course entry.
See How do I apply for funding? for further information about funding.
