The process of completing an application form is a great learning opportunity for you as it reflects that of applying for a job. You can view guidance to help you to complete a good quality application form on our help with applying web page.  

If you are from a disadvantaged background or under-represented group, we encourage you to apply in line with the University's commitment to increasing the diversity and social mobility of our student and staff population. 

Demand is high and places are limited so we cannot guarantee a placement, but we will accommodate as many applications as possible. We look forward to hearing from you!

We are constantly seeking to reduce the unconscious bias that enters any assessment process, with the goal of creating an inclusive and equal assessment process. To support this, personal details will be removed from application forms at the initial shortlisting stage.
