Receiving an offer

What happens when you receive an offer and what to do next.

If your application is successful you will receive a formal offer of admission, which contains information about: 

  • your chosen degree programme 
  • your period of study (including your start date at the University) 
  • your supervisors (for research students) or programme director (for taught programmes) 
  • your fee status and any additional programme costs, such as research or fieldwork costs 
  • the deadline by which you need to accept or decline the offer 
  • any conditions on your offer, such as supporting documents that you must provide 

Where competition for places is strong, some programmes operate a waiting list system. 

We recommend that you reply as early as possible and take careful note of the response date given in your offer.
