To begin your application please contact our Student Enrolment Advisers; they will guide you through the admissions process and answer any questions you may have. Apply now.

Application deadline

We recommend that you submit your application as early as possible (and at least one month before the start of the course), because the visa application process can cause delays.

However, subject to availability, we do continue to consider applications up to 2 weeks after the start of an academic programme.
