The UCAS application procedure allows international students to apply at any time between September and 30 June. However, given the competition for places at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳, ALL applicants are strongly advised to submit their applications to UCAS by 29 January 2025 (for 2025 and deferred 2026 entry). We will only consider applications submitted after the UCAS deadline if there are places still available on the relevant degree programme. It is rare that places are available on our programmes after the UCAS deadline. All applicants, including international applicants, are therefore strongly advised to apply by the January UCAS deadline.

Applications are considered by Academic Selectors, who are responsible for decision-making. Applicants are expected to ensure that their UCAS application is complete before submitting it to the School.

We reserve the right to ask applicants to provide further information relating to any aspect of their application in order to make a final decision. For example, information concerning entry qualifications, fee status or criminal convictions. If additional information is not provided when requested there may be a delay in the consideration of your application.

You are asked to contact Undergraduate Admissions should the details or circumstances of your application change in any way, for instance, if you decide to change the A level or equivalent subjects you stated on your UCAS form. Similarly, if there are any extenuating circumstances which have an impact on your course of study eg, illness, family circumstances or disruption to the delivery of your course at school, you should contact the Undergraduate Admissions team with the relevant details.

Please note: As stated in our admissions policy, the responsibility for providing accurate information regarding qualifications (grades and/or levels) and other details in relation to their application lies with the applicant and their place(s) of education. The School cannot accept responsibility or compensate for incorrect information submitted through UCAS by the applicant, unless it is advised of such errors before it has made its decision.

We do not interview applicants for any of our programmes at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳. It is not possible for applicants to request an interview with the Admissions Selector.

Direct entry to the second year of a programme at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ on the basis of first year undergraduate study at another university is extremely rare, and is only permitted in exceptional circumstances. Third year entry is not permitted under any circumstances.

In order to be eligible for consideration, applicants applying for second year must meet the following requirements

• Meet the original first year entry requirements for the programme (eg A level or IB requirements)
• Achieve the equivalent of a 2:1 in your first year studies
• Your current first year studies must be the same as the first year at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ (you must provide a copy of your transcript)
• There must be spaces available in the second year of the programme

Students currently enrolled at another university wishing to gain admission to ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ in the second year should apply via UCAS, and should do so by the UCAS January deadline. Please ensure you select ‘2’ as your point of entry when applying. Due to the intense level of competition for places at ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳, we are unable to guarantee entry, even where applicants have met all of our requirements.

The following departments will consider second year entry. Unfortunately, all other departments are unable to consider second year entry.

• Anthropology (excluding BA Anthropology and Law)
• Geography and Environment
• Government (excluding BSc Politics and International Relations)
