The IMS normally cannot consider applications until it has received the material listed above. If (b), (c) or (d) above are not submitted with the application it can take up to two months to receive this information and this can delay your application unnecessarily. It is therefore useful for you to arrange for your university (or department) to send a confidential transcript of your academic record and grades as described above.
