When to Apply

Applications for our Masters programmes can be considered throughout the year however it is recommended you apply as early as possible.  The following guidance should be considered before making a formal study application.

The application cycle is generally October through to the following September (for example, 2012 entry applications can be considered from October 2011 through to September 2012).

 Applications received throughout August and early September of the year of entry are considered as ‘late’ applications and will only be considered if the programme entry requirements have been met (academic and English Language where applicable) and all supporting documents have been uploaded at the time of application.  In some cases applicants may be offered deferred consideration to the following academic cycle.

Overseas Applicants

Overseas applicants are strongly advised to apply no later than the end of May for entry to a programme starting in September.  This is to allow time for application processing, for any conditions to be met (e.g. English Language requirements) and for Visa applications to be made in adequate time for the start of term.
