How to apply
You can no longer submit a new application for courses starting in 2024.
If you already have a 2024 application and are in Clearing, you can add this course as a Clearing choice – contact the university or college first to check they have places.
This is the deadline for applications to be completed and sent for this course. If the university or college still has places available you can apply after this date, but your application is not guaranteed to be considered.

Additional entry requirements
Interview
Selected UK-based candidates whose UCAS applications meet our entry criteria and include a strong personal statement will be invited to an informal interview with two members of staff on a rolling basis between November and March. After the interview you will be asked to write a critical commentary on an unseen passage of prose or verse. If you live outside the UK your application will be considered without an interview. We may contact you for further information or ask you to complete a questionnaire instead of an interview (which aims to follow a similar format to the face-to-face interview).
Student Outcomes
The number of student respondents and response rates can be important in interpreting the data – it is important to note your experience may be different from theirs. This data will be based on the subject area rather than the specific course. Read more about this data on the Discover Uni website.
