First you need to apply
Complete the Application for Admission online. If you haven’t already got an
account you’ll be asked to sign up for a new one. It’s easy, and you’ll soon be
underway in making your application. Go to
If you are in your fnal year of secondary school, you should apply before your
fnal school results are released.
Late applications will be considered if places are available. It is advisable,
however, to apply for the programmes that you might wish to study well before
the closing date.
You will receive an acknowledgement email asking you to provide supporting
documents (and in some cases to complete other requirements*) before your
application can be assessed. You may need to attend a literacy and numeracy
assessment and/or interview. See pg. 19 for details. Note that the faculty may
not invite all applicants to an interview.
You can check your application status online at any time. Be patient though, an
admission decision will be made within four weeks of us receiving the required
documents, and some documents can take longer to process than others.
Your fnal offer of a place depends on two things: your admission to the
University (which for school leavers may depend on your fnal school results) and
your assessment by the relevant faculty.
If your application is successful, we’ll email you an offer with instructions on how
to accept the offer.**
*For some programmes, you may be required to submit supplementary information (eg, a police
consent form).
**If you are not offered a place in the programme(s) of your choice, you will receive an email
outlining alternative options.
