Read the guidance notes on the application form carefully and provide the necessary documents to help speed up your application. Standard supporting documents include:

• copies of your academic transcripts and graduation certificates
• two references, one of which must be an academic reference
• your personal statement
• evidence of your English language proficiency

Some courses will have additional application requirements so check the individual course entries on our online prospectus. Art and design applicants are usually required to submit a link to their digital portfolio. 

Please be aware the University may not be able to make a decision on your application without the academic transcript for your highest qualification. An interim transcript may be acceptable if the qualification is not yet complete.
