Admission tutors are responsible for considering and approving applications to taught graduate programmes, which are normally made via the online application system.  For information on processing these, please click here.  The GSB will retain general oversight over this process.

3.     Processsing Applications - Graduate Research Programmes

Prospects applicants to graduate research programmes should be advised to discuss their projects with an appropriate supervisor in the first instance.  Once a formal application has been lodged via the online system, the School - in consultation with the prospective supervisor - should consider the application.  If the School wishes to recommend admission, it should forward the necessary paper work to the GSB.  All recommendations for admission to graduate research programmes must be approved by the GSB prior to either a full or conditional offer being communicated to the applicant.  Once the GSB has taken a view on an application, the School should inform the applicant of its decision.   The templates for admission to graduate research programmes the School is required to complete, when recommending a full or conditional offer to the Graduate School Board, can be found by clicking on this link Admission to Graduate Research Programme
