Due to high demand we operate selection deadlines for our postgraduate taught programmes in Physics. The programmes listed below, from the School of Physics & Astronomy, have selection deadlines. You can apply up until the final selection deadline listed for the programme, although we do recommend applying as early as you can. Please note programmes may close early due to high demand. A small number of offers will be made to outstanding candidates on an ongoing basis, but the majority of applications will be held until each of the published selection round deadlines below and then considered together. Following each selection round deadline: Applicants who are being made an offer will be notified. Applicants who have been unsuccessful will be notified. Applicants who are still being considered will have their application carried forward to the next round. We expect to make decisions for each selection round by the dates shown below. If it takes longer than expected to complete our decision-making we will email you with an updated timeline.
