Application, reply and CAS deadlines
These are the application, reply, supporting documents and CAS deadlines in our master's application process for October entry.
Application and supporting documents deadlines
All students
| Activity | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Latest date for submission of new applications* | 6 September |
| Latest date for submission of supporting documents to meet offer conditions in full (including ATAS where required) | 6 September |
New applications submitted between 1 and 6 September will only be considered if all supporting documents are submitted at the same time, allowing for a fast-track assessment of the application.
* Please note: programmes which require a portfolio or piece of creative writing take longer to be assessed, so new applications should be made no later than 23 August.
New applications or supporting documents to meet offer conditions submitted after 6 September will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will only be accepted if places still exist on the programme and there is sufficient time to process the application, confirm results and issue a CAS to ensure the student’s arrival in time for the start of term.
High-demand programmes
High-demand programmes can reach their maximum offer limit some time before the above date, so may stop making offers at an earlier point in the admissions process. This is particularly so if the programme intake numbers are constrained by external accreditation. You are therefore recommended to submit your application as soon as possible to ensure you are not disappointed.
Applicants for MA User Experience and Service Design and MSc User Experience Design from China should note special application deadline information here.
