All applications are given careful consideration on academic grounds. Typically, the whole process takes between six and eight weeks, although it may take longer as Schools seek to ensure that appropriate expertise for supervision and adequate resources are available for the proper conduct of the research (e.g. equipment, library collections and computing facilities and software).

» Overview of the application process

To facilitate the application process, all applicants are urged to ensure that the application is clearly written, all the relevant sections are accurately and fully completed and it is accompanied by all the necessary supporting documents, including full transcripts of academic performance in first degrees.
