Question:
When can I expect a decision on my postgraduate application?
Answer:
It normally takes academic departments around four weeks to make decisions on applications. Sometimes decisions can be delayed if the academic department requires further information from you. If this is the case, they will contact you to request it. You can then either send the information to them directly, or to the Admissions Service. Please respond quickly if you are asked for further information.
If you have not received a decision on your application after six weeks we recommend that you contact the academic department directly. You can find academic department contact details via the following link:
