Our decision
We aim to process decisions as quickly as possible. However given the volume and quality of applications we receive, we are not always able to make a decision immediately. Where we are not able to make a decision for some time, we will contact you to explain the situation. In particular, you should also note that at busy times of the application cycle, particularly towards the October and January deadlines, there may be delays in the processing of applications, both at UCAS and within the University.
Please note that it is the policy of some academic departments to interview applicants before making a decision. Some other departments await the 15 January deadline before considering applications. In both cases, you should receive a letter or email from the department explaining the procedure.
Once a decision is made, this is recorded on the University's central database and communicated electronically to UCAS. You can view the status of your application through the Track facility on the UCAS website:
