How to apply
As there is high demand for this course we operate a staged admissions process with selection deadlines throughout the year. Please find more information in our Application and Selection section.
Staged admissions
Applications to this course are considered through a staged admissions process with selection deadlines throughout the year. Due to the competition for places and high quality of applications that we receive, we give preference to students from high-ranking institutions and with grades above our minimum entry requirements. Applications for 2025 entry:
Stage 1: Application received by13 December 2024;Decision by 16 February 2025.
Stage 2: Application received by28 February 2024;Decision by25 April 2025.
Stage 3: Application received by 2 May 2025;Decision by20 June 2025.
Applications received after 2 May will be considered depending on course availability.
Whilst we aim to give you a decision on your application by the deadline date, in some instances due to the competition for places and the volume of applications received, it may be necessary to roll your application forward to the next deadline date. If this is the case we will let you know after the deadline date.
Please note: all places are subject to availability and if you apply at one of the later stages, some courses may already be reaching capacity or be closed to further applications. We, therefore, recommend that you apply early in the cycle to avoid disappointment.
If we make you an offer, you will be given a deadline by which to accept. This is typically 6 weeks but may be shorter. Offers that are not accepted by the deadline will be withdrawn.
Applicants who are made a conditional offer of a place must provide evidence that they have met all the conditions of their offer by 31 July 2025.

Please note : where grades are given as a percentage, the weighted average mark must also be recorded as a percentage, not as a GPA grade.

- A CV if you graduated more than three years ago.
How your application is considered
We consider your full academic history including which course units you have taken and the marks obtained. Even if you have met our minimum entry requirements, we will take into account your marks in relevant course units in our final decision making.
If you graduated more than three years ago, we will also consider the information contained on your CV and any relevant work experience you have to assess if you are still able to fulfil the entry criteria.
