If you have not already registered to use the on-line application process, please do so before you start.
Work your way carefully through each section, and be sure to click Save and Continue at the bottom of the page before going on to the next one. If you don't have all the information to hand when you work your way through the section, click Save and Continue, and you can come back to the section later to complete it. The Application Overview on the right hand of the screen will show you which sections you have completed and which ones are still incomplete.
Once you have completed all sections, please take time to go back through each section to check the details you have entered. Once you submit your application, you will not be able to return to amend information, so please be sure that it is all correct.
Once you submit your application, you will receive an email to confirm safe receipt within two working days. This will also give you information on what steps you should take next.
Postgraduate Taught supporting documents will be transcripts of your academic qualifications, English language qualification, personal statement and academic references. You can upload your supporting documents as you create your application, and add further documents at a later date - your application will remain open for you to do so after it has been submitted.
Please be aware that we carefully check all academic and English Language documents to ensure that they are genuine and all IELTS, TOEFL and PTE certificates are verified. We may request originals to be submitted and we may also confirm with the awarding institution the information contained in the documents. References will be followed up and verified as required.

Once your documents have been received by the University, your application will be assessed. An academic decision will normally be returned to you in six weeks, although at some peak times of the year, or if you have applied to a high-demand degree, this may take a little longer.
You can track the progress of your application on-line under the Submitted Applications part of the Portal.
A personal statement and reference from your school/college must be provided. You can upload these as you create your application. If you wish to add further documents at a later date, your application will remain open for you to do so after it has been submitted. Please note that you will not be invited for portfolio assessment until all supporting documents have been submitted. Please be aware that all academic documents and all IELTS and TOEFL certificates are verified. In some instances we may request that original documents are forwarded.
