Deposit payment
All successful applicants will receive a conditional offer of admission.
To receive an unconditional offer of admission and to secure their place on-programme, applicants will be required to pay a non-refundable deposit of £1,500, and meet any other offer conditions set out in their offer letter.
The deposit is usually due within 28 days of the offer issue date. If we do not receive the deposit within 28 days, we will reject any outstanding offers without further notice. It is therefore essential that applicants have funding in place before applying.
