Before applying for a programme, please consider whether you meet the minimum academic and professional requirements.
See entry requirementsThis programme operates a series of selection deadlines; please review these before applying. However, you should apply as soon as possible.

Application process and required documentsApplications are only accepted via our online application portal. By applying online below, you will be redirected to the relevant page on the University site where you can begin the process.
A non-refundable application fee of £60 is payable before your application can be considered. Payment should be made once you have submitted your online application and received your UUN (Universal Username), and before the application deadline of the round you are applying in.
Application fee paymentImportant points to remember
You should apply via the University online system as soon as possible because the application process will be closed once the programme is full. Applications which are received after our final selection deadline will be considered at our discretion, if there are still places available.
- When completing your online application, you can save your progress and continue at a later date.
- You will receive a Universal Username (UUN) at the end of the application process, which should be used in any further correspondence with us.
- You will not be able to apply for the same programme twice in the same year.
- Once the programme is full we will indicate this on our website.
- Applications received after 11 June may be considered if there is no visa requirement and if there are still places available.
- University accommodation cannot be guaranteed for applicants not holding an unconditional offer by the end of July, or who have not applied for accommodation by 31 July.
- Demand for places on all programmes is extremely high and we cannot guarantee an offer to all applicants meeting minimum requirements. Places are allocated to suitably qualified persons on a first-come first-served basis.
