Selection deadlines

Due to high demand, we operate application and selection deadlines for some of our postgraduate programmes.

You can apply up until the final selection deadline listed for the programme, although we encourage you to apply as soon as possible so that we have enough time to process your application. This is particularly important if you are also applying for funding or will require a visa. Applications may close earlier than published deadlines if there is exceptionally high demand. Please note programmes may close early due to high demand.

A small number of offers may be made to outstanding candidates on an ongoing basis; however, most applications will be held until each published selection round deadline (see the list below) and then considered together.  Following each selection round deadline:

  • Applicants who are being made an offer will be notified by email.
  • Applicants who have been unsuccessful will be notified by email.
  • Applicants still being considered will have their application carried forward to the next round.

We expect to make decisions for each selection round by the dates shown below.
