Application deadlines

If you do not require a student visa there are no application deadlines for most of our postgraduate taught courses.

If you require a student visa, the application deadline for all courses starting in September/October 2024 is 2 August 2024.

However, places are limited in some departments so you should submit your application as soon as possible. Some departments also have earlier deadlines – so you should check the information in the Essential Information for each course.
