Congratulations! The next step is to register online and pay your fees (see below).

We require more information and/or evidence

We will advise you how to become eligible in the future. You may appeal this decision, see admissions appeals procedure.

*Please note: Whilst we endeavour to meet this target, it can take up to 15 working days to respond as and when we get close to an application deadline. Therefore, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

The registration process

The interval between application and registration deadlines varies. We will send you instructions to guide you through the process.

Once you have received an offer to study, you will need to pay your fees and register formally. Your offer letter will detail your registration deadlines and other significant dates.

We send you instructions to help you through this process, including the following key information:

Deadline

The registration deadline can range from one week to two months after the application deadline. The interval is often shorter where the programme offers several intakes per year.

Fees

The fees due at registration depend on your programme and how much you are required to pay up-front. Your programme may include a separate registration fee and pay-as-you-go or full-fee options.

Fee details are provided on our programme pages, and in greater detail in our fee schedules.
