Applying for your master’s degree: a step-by-step guide

Step 1: Check the entry requirements

Found a course you like? Check that you meet its entry requirements on the course page. Don’t worry if you don’t meet them all, though. We’d still love to hear from you if you have equivalent professional experience or qualifications!

Step 2: Register your interest

To register your interest in a course, fill in and submit our contact form. Our enquiry adviser team will receive your details and get in touch to book a call.

Step 3: Chat to our advisers

Once you’ve scheduled your call, our enquiry advisers will call you. They’ll want to learn more about your background and experience. They can then tell you whether our course is the right choice for you and your future aspirations.

If the course is right for you, they'll put you in touch with a member of our course adviser team. From this point on in the application process, the course adviser will be your dedicated contact.

Step 4: Meet the English language requirements

You’ll need to provide evidence of your English proficiency. Check the entry requirements on your course page to see what English language proficiency certificates we accept.

Step 5: Visit our application portal

To start your course application, visit the Apply Now page to access our application portal. There, you can start adding the details needed for your application.

You can save your progress and resume at any time up until the application deadline.

Step 6: Gather your references and documents

To process your master’s application, we’ll need a few documents from you. Generally, this will include photographed or scanned copies of:

• photographic proof of identity, such as a passport
• certificates and transcripts of any degrees or qualifications you currently hold
• professional or academic references, depending on the course you choose
• an English language proficiency certificate

You may need to provide additional documents depending on the course you’re applying for. For further information, check your course page or contact your course adviser.

Step 7: Write your personal statement

Your personal statement is your chance to tell your story. Highlight your passions, and any professional or academic experience that relates to your chosen course. Write about your personal goals and explain how the course will help you meet them.

Step 8: Submit your application

Once everything’s uploaded to the portal, send your application to the Admissions team. We’ll reply in around 10 working days.

If you have any questions about your application, contact your course adviser.

Step 9: Accept your offer

Got an offer for a place on your course? Congratulations! You’ll now need to accept your offer through the application portal. Once you’ve done this, we’ll send you details about enrolment, onboarding and orientation.
