How to apply
Advice to applicants
As well as a personal statement as part of the application, you should supply an academic-standard writing sample on a subject related to the programme:
- If your academic background is not directly related to the programme and/or
- If English is not your native language.
Please upload this under the CV/Resume option in the Supporting Documents section of the application form.
How your application is considered
Applications are mainly considered on the basis of an assessment of past and predicted academic achievements, the academic reference(s) and any other supplementary evidence that supports the application. Once we have an application that is ready for a decision, the admissions tutor (often the Programme Director) will relay the decision to the admissions team, who will send you this decision.
Please note that your application is usually received by the School 24 to 48 hours after the time you submit it. If you have not provided documentation that allows the admissions tutor to make a decision, we will contact you.
