6.Advice to applicants
We require the following documents before we can consider your application.
- Latest transcripts of study showing all modules completed including credit weighting and grades achieved
- If you have not yet graduated, a list of the modules that you will be completing in the final year of your degree together with their credit weighting
- An official document from your university verifying your current weighted average mark if this information is not included in your transcript of study. Please note : this must be recorded as a percentage, not as a GPA grade, and must give the weighted average mark, not an arithmetic average mark
- We require a reference from someone who has knowledge of your academic ability in support of your application. In most cases this should be an academic reference, from a lecturer or professor at your last university. In some cases (for example, if your academic studies occurred some time ago) it might be more appropriate to submit a recommendation from someone who is familiar with your professional experience. If you have difficulty in identifying a suitable referee you should ask for advice from the admissions team. We will contact the referee directly after you submit your application and direct them to complete our online reference form.
- Degree certificate if you have already graduated.
- Curriculum vitae (CV) if you graduated more than three years ago.
7.ATAS Information
