Application process

    1. You must apply for a place on this unit. The application link can be found at the end of this section.
    2. Places will be filled as applications are received, so apply early to increase your chance of securing a place. For Semester 1 and Semester 2, interviews will take place in late summer. For Semester 2 only, interviews will take place over the autumn.
    3. If your application is shortlisted, you will be invited to a short interview. The interview will explore your reasons for wanting to take the unit and your suitability for it. 
    4. If your application is successful and you accept a place on the unit, you will need to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.

      You will receive an email with details of how to complete the DBS check, and a link to the form you need to complete on the DBS website to start the process.

      Please note that DBS checks can take between 14-90 days to process, so it’s important you complete your DBS application as soon as you receive the email from us telling you to do so.

      Please note, DBS checks for international students usually take longer than average, and therefore, we recommend applying for semester 2 delivery of this unit.
