Staged admissions process for international applicants
A staged admissions process is in place for this programme for international applicants. The dates for each stage are given in the table below.
When you apply for September 2023 entry, your application will be considered with all other applications that have been submitted by that stage’s deadline. This enables us to ensure that all applications in a stage are considered fairly and equally.
Each year we see a large volume of high quality applications and as places for these programmes are very competitive, applicants who demonstrate that they are able to exceed the minimum entry requirements will be given preference.
We hope to provide a decision to you by the dates below that correspond with when you made your application, however please be aware we may not be able to communicate a decision to you until the decision dates of Stage 3. If this is the case, please refrain from contacting us until the Stage 3 decision date (see table below), as we will be unable to provide an earlier decision or update before that date.
Please note applications from Home students are subject to the standard application process and timescale.
