Apply using the Applicant Portal
The Apply Now button on the right will take you to the Applicant Portal. There, you can create and submit your application and supporting documents, and you can also request your references.
An application is only complete when:
- you have submitted your application and supporting documents via the Applicant Portal

Applications are accepted via the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership website.
Applications are only complete once all the required supporting materials have been submitted.
Candidates who miss the application deadline, as specified on the CISL website, will not be able to apply.
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.
