Apply for postgraduate study

Application process

How we assess your application

In considering your application, we consider:

• Your achieved academic performance in level 6, 7 and 8 qualifications (Bachelor, Master and Doctorial degrees and their equivalents)
• Your performance to date in undertaking a current qualification
• Your personal statement
• Your reference
• Any additional statement supplied by your academic institution or employer regarding any special personal or extenuating circumstances which may impact, or have impacted on your studies.

Please ensure you check the most up-to-date entry requirements in the individual programme descriptors.

Interviews

The majority of programmes do not require an interview as part of the selection process. Where an interview is included, this is made clear in the individual entry requirements. The purpose and format of the interview will be communicated to you clearly in advance so you know what to expect and what role this plays in the overall selection process.

If you are based overseas the University will, where possible, try to arrange the interview during a scheduled visit by an authorised member of University Staff or where this is not possible by telephone or skype.
