Selection Process
Applications are normally considered on a rolling basis, therefore, applicants will receive decisions throughout the period the admissions window is open. Applications may be gathered at peak periods associated with central funding deadlines when admissions are at their peak. The MPhil receives a high number of applications and there are limited places, so it may be necessary to hold applications on a reserve list until the full number and strength of applications is clear.
Applicants who apply in the run up to the December funding competition deadline will be reviewed in November - December and can usually expect to receive a decision on admission in February. Applications made after this deadline will be considered from February onwards and decisions on admission will usually be made within 12 weeks unless applicants are placed on a reserve list due to a limit on available places. Interviews are held (usually virtually) at the panel's discretion.
