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:

If you miss the deadlines specified in this section, you will not be able to submit your application.
Selection Process
Applications are considered as they are received and offers are made throughout the application period. It is therefore strongly recommended that you submit your completed application (including references) in good time as we only have a limited number of spaces on the programmes. Applicants applying for funding need to ensure their applications are submitted in full by the relevant deadline and that their applications make clear how they meet any specific selection criteria stated by the funder. An interview may take place in borderline cases or if the admissions panel requires further information to make an assessment of the application. Applicants will be notified as soon as their application has been evaluated, if it has been accepted, rejected, or put on hold. Applications that are put on hold will be assessed as a gathered field in April, after the application deadline. We aim to have all decisions made by the end of July.
Interviews can be in person, by phone or via Zoom.
