Applications

When applying for postgraduate courses, you usually need to apply directly to the university (unless applying to a teacher training course).

The method and timing for courses can vary a great deal across institutions, but most applications begin with an application form – normally including a 'supporting statement' – detailing why you want to study the particular course and why you are suitable.

You will also be expected to provide an official transcript from your undergraduate college. Some universities will also interview potential candidates as part of the selection process for postgraduate courses.
