New Procedure for Multiple Applications
Graduate Admissions has announced a new process to enable applicants to DTPs and CDTs to make additional applications for related programmes of study without the need to pay additional application fees. Applicants can apply to up to three such programmes and only pay one application fee. A seperate form must be completed for each application but as long as applicants contact Graduate Admissions to apply for a fee waiver, only the first form will be charged at £50. Applications to unrelated programmes of study will still attract multiple application fees.
