How to apply

Applications for our postgraduate courses to start in September 2025 will be open from October 2024. There are a number of important application deadlines throughout the admissions cycle – if you are unsure whether a deadline applies to you, please check your chosen course page, review our summary of deadlines, or contact us. As spaces are limited on our courses, places can be competitive, so we encourage you to submit your application and supporting documents as early as possible. Some of our courses may also need time and support to find suitable placements. Please note that once our courses are full, they will be closed to new applications.

Before you start your application, please check that you meet the entry requirements for your chosen course. You can find out about specific course criteria by looking on the course information pages, or please contact us. Applicants who do not speak English as their first language will be required to provide evidence that they have achieved a minimum IELTS grade of 6.5, with a minimum score of 5.5 in each element, that is appropriate for their course.

All Trust courses are applied for via our online admissions system MyTAP,  accessible via the ‘Apply now’ button on all course pages. When you first apply to us, you will be asked to fill in a short registration form that will allow you access to the system. After you have submitted your application, all your details will be held in your MyTAP Portal through which you will be able to review your application, select and confirm an interview and accept your offer of study. The system allows you to save your incomplete application and return to it at another time. 

Once you have submitted your application, you will receive an email confirmation that it has been sent to us. You can log into MyTAP at anytime to check the status of your application.
