Advice to applicants

Please submit the following documents with your completed application form:

  • copies of official degree certificates and transcripts of your previous study, showing the subjects taken and grades obtained. If these documents are in languages other than English, please provide official translations;
  • your CV.

Ensure that you enclose all the necessary documents to avoid delay.

Deposit information

We ask for the deposit to accept your offer as competition is high and availability is limited.

When you are made an offer, you will be required to pay a £1,000 deposit by the deadline date stated in your offer letter before you can be accepted on to this course. The deposit amount will be deducted from your tuition fees when you register on the course.

The deposit is non-refundable, except in the circumstances specified in the Acceptance Deposit refund policy .

Staged admissions process

As there is a high demand for our courses, we operate a staged admissions process with a number of 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.

Please ensure you submit all supporting documentation with your application before the application deadline to avoid a delay in processing.

* Stage 1: Application received by 07 December 2024 ; Application update by 21 February 2025

* Stage 2: Application received by 02 March 2025 ; Application update by 01 May 2025

* Stage 3: Application received by 04 May 2025 ; Application update by 05 June 2025

* Stage 4: Application received by 01 July 2025 ; Application update by 25 July 2025

While 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.

Applications received after our final selection deadline will be considered at our discretion if places are still available.

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.
