These are:

  • Copies of all educational certificates and transcripts achieved to date
  • Evidence of your English language competence
  • A personal statement (SOP)
  • A reference

Delay in sending any of these documents may prevent you from joining us on your preferred start date.

Further information on the application process and documents required can be found on our how to apply pages.

If you live outside of the UK and are successful in your application it is important you give yourself enough time to complete the application process, confirm your place, apply for a student visa and travel to the UK.
