Selection Process

Applications are considered in three batches after the 3rd December, 25th February and 13th May.  We aim to make decisions on applications within 12 weeks of these dates and by 15th June at the latest. It is possible that your application may be held for consideration in a later batch even if you apply earlier. 

The course may fill up well ahead of the advertised closing date. You are therefore advised to apply by the December funding deadline if possible.
