When to
apply
Most of our taught programmes begin in September. Applications
can usually be made throughout the year, and are considered until programmes
are full.
Before you apply
Familiarise yourself with the information
required to complete your application form. You will usually be required
to supply:
- evidence of qualifications (degree certificates or
transcripts), with translations if not in English, to show that you meet,
or expect to meet the entry requirements
- evidence of English language proficiency, if English is
not your first language
- a personal statement of approximately 250-400 words
about the reasons for your interest in the course and outlining the nature
of previous and current related experience. You can write this into the
online application form, or include it as a separate document
- your curriculum vitae or résumé, including details of
relevant professional/voluntary experience, professional registration/s
and visa status for overseas workers
- proof of sponsorship, if applicable.

additional information; two academic/professional references, confirming your
suitability for the course; or to take part in an interview (which in the case
of overseas students may be by telephone or video conference) and you will be
sent a decision by letter or email.

as possible. Our Admissions and Course Enquiries team is on hand to offer help
