International Students

Owing to the limited number of funded spaces for international students within our programme and the large number of applications, we encourage all international students to fill out a Statement of Intent pre-application assessment form prior to submitting a formal application, and also to solicit the support of a faculty member as a potential supervisor. Please see the information page here.
