Selection Process
Applicants who apply by the December funding competition deadline will be reviewed in December-January and can usually expect to receive a decision in February if they are being nominated to the funding competition (gathered field 1).
Applications received after the funding deadline are considered in batches. Deadlines for these subsequent gathered fields will be 28 February and 30 April. Decisions will be communicated to applicants approximately eight weeks after each deadline.
We strongly advise that you submit as early as possible as we receive a large number of outstanding applications for a limited number of places which may be filled before the advertised deadline. If this occurs, the course entry in the online prospectus will be labelled as “closed".
