How to Apply

Applications can be made from October 1st for entry in the following academic year.

We operate a rolling admissions policy with decisions being taken as soon as possible after receipt of completed applications. Therefore, it is advisable not to delay making an application, as competition for places may result in the course reaching capacity quickly. In general, the course remains open until such time as all places have been filled, usually late June. After this time, a waiting list goes into operation.

If you are in the final year of your degree and are on track to get a 2.1 honours degree or higher, you can still apply early.  A 'Conditional Offer' can be made, based on your previous academic performance. 

Once your deposit is paid within the offer window stated in your Letter of Offer, and you get the required grade, your 'Conditional Offer' will be converted to a 'Full Offer'. Deposits are not refundable.
