It is important to apply early as this programme is often over-subscribed. If your application is successful, i.e. if you meet all of the entry requirements and upload all of the required documentation and there is still space on the programme, then you will receive a full offer.  If you are deemed suitable, and there is still space on the programme, but you have not yet received your final examination results or English language results (where required), a conditional offer will be issued. 

If you apply and the programme is already full and you meet all of the admission requirements, you will be placed on a wait list. Applicants on this wait list are prioritised over later applicants.
