Postgraduate taught application timeline

Find out which deadline applies to you, and what you need to do by that deadline.

Updated on 22 September 2026

We recommend applying by the earlier deadline where possible. 

This gives you more time to complete the admissions and visa processes before the start of your course. The standard deadline may apply where there is enough time to complete the visa process before the start of your course. Meeting a deadline does not guarantee that your visa will be issued in time to start your course. Visa processing times can vary.

 Apply as early as possible and complete each stage of the application process before the relevant deadline.
