How To Apply

Applications are processed by the University's central Graduate Admissions Office and when you are ready to make a formal application please apply online here. This will also provide you with guidance notes on the university's application process. There is a £50 application fee.

Before making a formal application you are encouraged to read the pre-application information first.
