Applications made after the funding deadline will be considered from February onwards and decisions on admission will usually be made within 12 weeks unless applicants are placed on a reserve list due to a limit on available places.
It may be necessary to hold your application on a reserve list until the full number and strength of applications are clear.
Interviews are held (usually virtually) at the panel's discretion.
