King’s aims to make decisions on applications within 6-8 weeks, though some programmes operate a ‘gathered field’ process and may therefore take longer, as indicted on the relevant course page. Depending on the time of year it may also take longer to process applications, particularly around deadline periods. Please ensure that your online application form is as complete as possible at the time of submission to avoid unnecessary delays, and ask your referees to be ready to submit a reference promptly.
