What are Application Rounds?

What we mean by 'rounds' and why we use them.

Updated yesterday

Due to the large number of applicants we get for each cohort, we divide the application timeline into rounds. You have a higher chance of there being a place available on the course in the earlier rounds of application. Even if we think you are great fit for the programme, as spaces fill up we, you might not be able to join in the cohort of your choice.

Successful applicants can always opt for the next available cohort, or choose to reapply at later date.

The latest dates for application rounds will always appear on our website home page.

For places in the September 2026 cohort - i.e. starting your MA in September this year - applications are already open.

Round 1 - Now Closed

Round 2 - Deadline 12th April

Round 3 - Deadline 10th May

Round 4 onwards - TBC
