How we will inform you of our decision
Generally speaking you will receive one of three kinds of responses from us:
- An unconditional offer: In this case you have been accepted to join the programme to which you applied. At some point in September, we will send you more specific information relating to your studies, including a copy of the postgraduate handbook, a timetable, and details of your induction evening.
- A conditional offer: This means that we are keen for you to study with us; however, you must provide us with further evidence of your ability.
- If you have not yet finished your undergraduate degree you will likely receive an offer on the condition that you achieve equivalent to second class honours upon completion.
- Offers are also often made on conditions relating to English language ability: either you will be asked to take a relevant examination and to send us the result, or you may be asked to take a pre-sessional language course.
- Occasionally applicants will be asked to sit the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) and achieve a minimum score of 600. More information will be sent to you on this test if it is made a condition of your offer.
- As soon as you have met the conditions of your offer please send a photocopy of your results to the same address as to which you posted your application. As long as the documentation is considered satisfactory by the Admissions Tutor, your offer will become unconditional as above.
- Your application has been declined: If your application does not meet our entry requirements, and the admissions tutor therefore does not deem it eligible for an offer of a place, you will receive a letter informing you that your application has been declined. However this does not mean that you will never be accepted to participate in any of our postgraduate programmes. Often applicants will be denied a place, because their degrees are not considered equivalent to those of the British system. In this case, if you are able to gain further qualifications of a high standard, eventually you may be able to apply again.
