When will I receive a decision on my application?<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a super busy time for Admissions and they are processing your applications as quickly as possible. Please ensure you check your emails for any replies or requests from our admissions team as well as regularly logging in to your UCAS or myHub accounts to track your progress.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We adhere to the decision time frames as outlined in the<\/span> UCAS Key Dates<\/span><\/a>. For September 2022 entry, this means if you applied before 26<\/span> January 2022 deadline, you will hear a response from UCAS by 19<\/span> May 2022. For applications received after the deadline, the latest you\u2019ll receive a decision will be 14 July 2022. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you applied before the deadline, you will need to <\/span>respond to your offers<\/span><\/a> by 9 June 2022.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
