We operate selection deadlines for some postgraduate taught programmes in Biological Sciences

The postgraduate taught programmes listed below from the School of Biological Sciences have selection deadlines. 

You can apply up until the final selection deadline listed below for the programme, although we do recommend applying as early as you can. Please note a programme may close early due to high demand.

A small number of offers will be made to outstanding candidates on an ongoing basis, but  the majority of applications in each selection round will be held until the deadline for that round and then considered together.  Following each selection round deadline:

  • Applicants who are being made an offer will be notified.
  • Applicants who have been unsuccessful will be notified.
  • Applicants still being considered will have their application carried forward to the next round.

We expect to make decisions for each selection round by the dates shown below.  If it takes longer than expected to complete our decision-making we will email you with an updated timeline.
