Response to your application
Time taken to process your application
The time taken to process an your application depends on the type of course that you are applying for and the completeness of your application. If your qualification is not known to us or if your documents are not complete, it will take longer. To make sure you have included all required documents, see the guide to making an application. If you are requesting credit/exemptions for courses already studied, it will take longer to process your application.
Our application assessment process is thorough. It can take up to six or eight weeks to process coursework applications, and longer for research applications. To ensure the fastest response time please follow our application instructions carefully.
Please note that the University receives many applications at the time of deadlines ( 31 October and 30 April) and delays may be experienced for applications submitted at those times. We are aware that quick response is important to you and try to respond accordingly.
