Selection Process

Applicants who apply for US Gates funding by the October funding deadline may normally expect to receive an admissions decision in December. All other applicants who apply by the funding deadline in December may normally expect to receive a decision before the end of March, and the majority of offers are made in February and March. Following the funding deadlines, applications are processed on a rolling basis. Applicants may expect a decision within 12 weeks after submitting their completed application and required supporting documents. Occasionally, applicants may not receive a decision within the expected timeframe due to being placed on a reserve list. If this is the case, then the Faculty will get in touch to let applicants know. Usually, the latest date for decisions to be communicated is the end of June.

How to Find a Supervisor

Although students in the MPhil course are not required to identify a Supervisor in their application, it is advisable that all students look for potential supervisors working in the area they may want to pursue as a topic for their dissertation. This will ensure a good fit between their interests and the department's teaching and research profile.
