What are the starting and closing dates for applications?

In general, there are no closing dates, although you are advised to apply as early as possible, especially if you are seeking financial support from research councils.

MPhil/PhD Research Applications: for a student to have an offer in place and to then be considered for School funding we recommend submitting an application no later than 1st May.

MSc Applications: as the courses are extremely popular we advise that applications are submitted by the end of May. After this date we cannot guarantee that places will still be available. Overseas students should submit an early application allowing time for them to then go through the necessary processing (accepting offers, meeting language conditions or enroling on the pre-sessional courses, Visa processing etc).
