What is the status of my application?

The status of your application can be viewed in the 'Application Status' section on the Applicant Hub's home page and on the application's detail page.

What statuses does my application go through before a decision is made?

Applications go through several stages while we assess your application:

1. Application received

2. Being processed

3. All details received

4. Ready for a decision

5. Decision

The time your application spends at each status will vary depending on how long it takes to gather the information needed to support your application, the number of applications we receive and whether your programme operates a closing date.

Applications can also be placed on hold at any time during the process, for example if we are waiting on additional documentation or if the programme operates a closing date.

Who should I contact if I have questions about my application status?

Your Admissions Office will be able to advise you on the status of your application.

Contact details for the Admissions Office responsible for your application can be found in the 'contact information' section of the Degree Finder page for your programme:
