Notes:

• Applicants come to the University from all over the world, with a variety of qualifications, and as a result the University has to consider each application thoroughly and on an individual basis. The University regret that it is not possible for them to give you any informal advice on your eligibility for admission. For this reason, you must make a formal application before they can tell you whether they can accept you.

• At its discretion, the University may sometimes consider applications received after 30 June. All such enquiries should be made directly to the Postgraduate Admissions Office.

• There is a definite start to the study year for these courses – September each year. Materials are dispatched, usually by courier, from the beginning of August to all students who have paid the registration and unit fees. Even if you register as early as June, your study materials will only be sent to you during August, in time for a September start.
