It is not possible to offer deferred places.
Selection Process
The Selection Panel will adjudicate applicants against the admissions criteria. While academic performance is one of the criteria used to identify the strongest candidates, we will also consider the other listed indicators of ability.
Applications are considered as they are received, on a rolling admissions basis. We typically receive a large volume of applications towards the closing date, hence applying as early as possible can increase the likelihood of receiving an early indication of the likely/final outcome. This can be especially helpful for applicants requiring time to obtain organisational approval, funding or visas to study, or make other travel or personal arrangements. Applicants should expect to receive an update on the progress of their application within 6 weeks.
