What happens next?

Our Admissions team will acknowledge receipt of your application by email. Where applications are submitted but references are still in progress, Admissions will wait for the reference(s) to be received and then will process it, and forward it to the relevant Programme Leader. 

The Programme Leader will either make a decision based on your application or invite you to attend an interview if they need to discuss your application further. 

Made an offer?

You should accept or decline your offer by emailing admissions@leedstrinity.ac.uk.

If you accept, you'll need to prove you satisfy the conditions outlined in your offer letter by any deadline set. 

You may be asked to present the relevant supporting documentation in person to the student information point on campus, if originals are not needed you’ll be contacted and given details of how to provide the supporting documentation.

Apply for a research degree

Once you've read the Admissions Policy below and know you've got the necessary qualifications to apply, you'll need to contact a related subject area academic who can agree to be your potential supervisor.

Supporting documents and a potential supervisor are the first steps to applying to a postgraduate research degree - you can find out more by visiting our Research webpages.

You need at least two references who should be qualified to comment on your educational background and potential for your chosen programme of study.
