HOW TO APPLY

Although you can apply for a postgraduate degree any time of year, we recommend you apply via the University’s online application system as early as possible in the academic year to give you the best chance of securing a place.

The full application process is available on the University’s website via the link below once you’ve decided which course you want to study, you’ll need to complete our online application form.

Apply for master’s courses

We are now taking applications for our 2023/24 master’s courses. Apply now for our master’s courses

Here’s a step-by-step guide on what you need to do after you’ve chosen your master’s course and how it works.

Step 1. Before you start your application

You’ll be asked to set up an account which means you can save your application and come back to it at a later date. If you need help you can also watch our videos on how to create an account and how to submit an application.

Make sure that you use a personal email address when you register and not a University of Manchester address. You’ll be asked to fill in some security questions, your answers will be used if you ever lose or change your password, so we know it’s you.

Step 2. Starting your application

Once you start your application, use the left-hand navigation to move through the form, you can ‘check your information’ at each stage, which will:

ask you to complete missing information or to correct formatting (such as dates);
mark the section as ‘complete’;
ask you to upload supporting documents, if needed.

Check closing dates

While lots of master’s courses do not have official closing dates, some do so you will need to check individual course pages for closing dates.

If you want to apply for funding, you need to check funding bodies’ closing dates. Most bodies usually expect you to have a provisional offer from the University before you apply for a studentship, scholarship or award.

Step 3. Supporting documents

If you cannot upload supporting documents, there is often a field for you to say why so you can still submit your application; we will then give you instructions on how to add documents via an online portal, these usually include:

evidence of qualifications (certificates or transcripts);
evidence of English language ability, if English is not your first language (some test results are only valid for two years, your test report will need to be valid on the start date of your course);
a research proposal, always check the department website for instructions as these vary;
check the department website for additional requirements (for example, some courses ask for specific information in a personal statement);
you may need two references, they will be contacted and asked to submit a reference directly to us via our referee portal. We will let you know when they have done this. Make sure your referees are aware in advance as they play a vital part in the assessment of your application.
