How to Apply
The quickest and most efficient way to apply for one of our postgraduate programmes is to apply online. This way, you can also track your application at each stage of the process and print off a copy of your decision letter. However, if you prefer, you can download a paper application form (see below).
Some Colleges have fixed closing dates for their taught Masters’ courses and/or research degrees - see individual course listings for details. Applicants for other courses are encouraged to apply by 31st July to ensure that vacancies are still available. Enrolment for taught Masters’ courses usually takes place in late September. Enrolment for research degrees takes place in late September, January, April and July.
