Additional Selection Requirements
Some programmes require you to submit a portfolio, attend an interview or sit an admissions test. Find out which programmes require additional selection.
What is Additional Selection?
Programmes that receive demand beyond their capacity require applicants to undertake additional selection as part of the application process.
This helps our Admissions team shortlist the most suitable candidates for a limited amount of programme places. Applicants will be invited to undertake the respective selection method before they receive a decision on their application. If they pass or score competitively enough in that method, they will be made an offer for the programme, conditional on them achieving the course-specific entry requirements. Applicants who do not pass or score highly enough will recieve a rejection decision, which is the end of the application process.
