Please complete all sections of the form and attach copies of your qualifications and two suitable references (we will also accept evidence of previous work experience in some cases).

Any incomplete forms submitted will delay the process as we will need to contact you for the missing information before assessing your application.

  • Once we have received your completed application you will receive an email acknowledgement and your application will then be considered by our Admissions team
  • You may be asked to provide additional documentation or information to support your application. For some courses you may be invited for an interview/audition or asked to submit a portfolio.
  • We may also need to assess your fee status so that we can determine whether you will be charged home or international fees.
