How to Apply

First Step: collate the required documentation needed to assess your application:

Your full, official transcripts. Please note we require official documentation. If you have not completed your undergraduate degree, please send us the most up-to- date version of all years studied so far.
Please include an updated CV detailing all relevant work experience and extra-curricular activity. It is useful to demonstrate leadership skills.
If English is not your first language, an English language qualification is required for admission to all of our programmes. The exception to this rule is if you have completed your primary degree or an entire third level qualification through English, in an English speaking country. For more information visit our English Language Requirements Page

Two references are generally required, preferably one academic and one professional.

Second Step:You must apply online using our dedicated student information portal.

You will be required to enter contact details,
upload your documents and
answer two essay questions (each approximately 300 words).
We would ask that you seriously consider both essays and answer these in the context of the programme you are applying to. Try to not replicate your CV and demonstrate what makes you different from other applicants. There are no right or wrong ways to complete these essays.
