Application closing date guidance

We encourage you to apply as early as possible so that there is sufficient time for your application to be assessed and we may need to request further information from you during the application process.

Our first application deadline is on 9 March 2025 (23:59 UK time). The final application deadlines for this programme are:

  • Overseas (international) fee status: 25 July 2025 (23:59 UK time)
  • Home fee status: 25 August 2025 (23:59 UK time)

After the first application deadline in March:

  • if the programme is not yet full, we will continue to accept applications until all available places are filled up to the final application deadlines above
  • if the programme becomes full before the final application deadlines stated above, we will close the programme to further applications

Please note, you will not be eligible for an application fee refund if you apply after the first application deadline, and we are unable to process further offers because places are filled and we close the course before the final application deadline.

In order to give equal consideration to all applicants, this programme operates a partial “gathered-field” approach to decision-making for applicants who meet our advertised academic entry requirements. This means that a decision may not be reached until after the initial March application deadline for those who have submitted a complete application by the end of February. You will be informed via King's Apply if your application is being held beyond this point. The programme will remain open after March until all places have been allocated.
