Please note, if you are applying for Teacher Training (PGCE), MA Social Work, PG Dip Legal Practice, PG Dip Law, or MA Art Psychotherapy, the application process can differ. Further details are available below:

This will vary from course to course. Visit our online prospectus to find out specific entry requirements for your course of interest.

The following information will usually be needed before we can make a decision on your application and is therefore useful to have ready before starting your application:

• Degree certificate and academic transcripts.
• Evidence of English language proficiency.
• A reference to support your application, either academic or professional, a template can be accessed here.

For the majority of our courses there are no fixed application deadlines. However, our courses are popular so it's in your interests to apply as early as possible. Check when your course starts on the online prospectus as many of our postgraduate courses have multiple start dates in September, January, April or May.

We'll send you an email confirmation with your unique reference number and will process your application as quickly as possible. You should expect a decision within six weeks of applying unless there is a closing date for the course you have applied for, in which case we will normally wait until this date has passed before considering all applications together. In some cases we may request more information, or invite you to an interview.

If we have offered you a place and you choose to accept, there are a few things you will need to think about - the best way to help finance your studies and, if you need accommodation, what the best option is for you.

This will give you all the information you need prior to starting your course. We will invite you to set up an account on this system when you have accepted your place with us.
