Advice and applications

For most courses, applications can be submitted year-round. We recommend you apply as early as possible, as entry to some courses is competitive.

If you're applying to a research degree, you may need to contact a potential supervisor before you apply to discuss your area of research. You'll also need to prepare a research proposal.

Various funding options are available for taught and research degrees, including scholarships, fully-funded studentships and UK government loans. Make sure to check the funding application deadlines.

My supervisors were really helpful and gave me guidance for my application. If you’re applying for funding this collaboration can be very helpful.
