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
- you have paid the application fee if applicable. For further information on application fees, and which courses require an application fee, see here.
- your referees have provided their references.
Selection Process
Applications are considered as they are received, and offers are made throughout the application period. We strongly recommended that applicants submit their completed application (including two references and the required supporting documents) in good time, as we only have a limited number of spaces on the course.
As part of the selection process non-standard applicants will be interviewed by Teams and will also be required to write a 500 word essay.
Applicants will be notified as soon as their application has been evaluated, if it has been accepted, rejected, or put on hold (usually within 12 weeks of the department receiving an application).
Please note:
Applicants that receive an offer of a place on the course will be expected to meet all the conditions of their admissions offer (i.e. academic & financial conditions, language competency, college membership) by 2 March 2026.
Failure to meet conditions by this deadline will result in a withdrawal of the offer of a place on the course.
Things You'll Need
You should start preparing the things that you'll need when you apply. These will be mandatory, unless specifically flagged as optional.
