When to apply

We run rolling admissions, and we will be making interview decisions, and offering places, throughout each stage of the application cycle. Early application is therefore strongly advised.

The dates below are intended to indicate the maximum time you are likely to wait for a decision. Note that we cannot normally consider your application in detail until we have your GMAT scores, references and transcripts, however you are welcome to submit your online application as soon as you have completed it, with the other items following shortly afterwards. We will always aim to give you a decision as quickly as possible. 

The stage is determined by when an application is complete (including references, transcripts and GMAT scores), not by when it is initially submitted.

Full time MiF: admissions dates for the class beginning in September 2008

We started to consider applications for September 2008 entry on 1 November 2007.  The final application deadline is 01 May 2008 at 18.00.  Although early application is strongly advised (particularly for people requiring a visa or applying for a scholarship) we guarantee to consider all applications completed by the final application deadline. 

You should sit GMAT no later than 1 May.  If you cannot complete your application by 1 May please refer to this note on late application.

All deadlines are at 18.00 (UK time) on the date listed below

Part time MiF: admissions dates for the class beginning in September 2008

We started to consider applications for September 2008 entry on 1 November 2007.  The final application deadline is 17 July 2008 at 18.00.  Although early application is strongly advised we guarantee to consider all applications completed by the final application deadline. 

All deadlines are at 18.00 (UK time) on the date listed below.

GMAT extension we guarantee that we will consider all part time applicants who complete their application by 17 July and sit GMAT no later than 4 August.  To speed up the decision making process for stage 6 applicants we are conducting an initial review of applications in advance of GMAT once the rest of the application is complete.  If candidates are called for interview after this review, and then offered a place, it will be conditional on achieving an acceptable GMAT score.  Note that this GMAT extension only applies to applicants applying to the part-time MiF for September 2008 entry.

Late application
Preference will be given to applicants who complete their application by 17 July and sit GMAT by 4 August.

If your application is submitted or completed after the 17 July application deadline or if you sit GMAT after 4 August, the programme may be full.   The later it is complete, the more likely this is to be the case.

If we call you for interview once the programme is full you will be in the waitlist stage and if the Admissions Committee decide to make you an offer it will be a confirmed place for September 2009 entry, and on a waitlist basis for this year's entry.   Confirmed places for 2008 entry will be offered to waitlisted applicants only if applicants who have already accepted a place decide to defer to 2009 entry or fail to achieve a satisfactory GMAT score.

September 2009 entry

The application form for September 2009 entry will be available in early October 2008.
