How to apply
All taught courses begin in September. There are no deadlines for making an application for a place, although it is advisable to apply before the end of July.
If you intend to apply for funding, you should submit an application for a place at least one month before any specific scholarship deadline.
All applications are considered by the School MA Tutor or the Disability Studies Programme Manager, who will make a decision based on degree results, references, other relevant information and, in some cases, an interview.
If you do not know your degree result before you apply, we may make offers to such candidates conditional on their degree results.
We need a set of supporting documents with your application.
- Two references
- A copy of your degree certificate, or equivalent.
- A transcript of your degree results
- A copy of your IELTS/TOEFL results, if applicable.
- For candidates applying for the ESRC 1+3 programme, we also require a research proposal.
The online application site gives instructions on how to scan and upload these with your application, or they can be posted directly to the School.
Candidates applying for the 1+3 programme must submit an application for taught postgraduate study AND an application for Research Degree study (only one set of supporting documents is required).
