4. Submit your application

Applications are only accepted via our online application portal. By applying online below, you will be redirected to the relevant application page where you can begin the process.

Important points to remember

You should apply using the University's online system as soon as possible because the application process will be closed once the programme is full. We recommend that you submit your application by 30 June if you require a visa.

  • 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 30 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 places are allocated to suitably qualified persons on a first-come first-served basis.
