UK & INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
Applicants should apply to LIPA via our online portal.
We consider applications in the order they are submitted and close the course once it becomes full. We will update this course page on our website, when this Master’s course becomes full and we are no longer considering applications for that year of entry.
What happens after I have applied?
Step 1: Assessing your application and invitation to interview
We’ll review your application and if we think you are on course to meet our educational entry requirements, we'll invite you to interview. In-person interviews will take place in Liverpool, while overseas applicants will be invited to a virtual interview.
Step 2: Interviews
Information about interviews, and what to prepare, is provided in the document below.

Step 3: Communicating our decision
We aim to let you know a decision within ten working days from your interview. Unfortunately, it can take longer than this sometimes, so please do not assume that you have been unsuccessful if you have not heard from us – it may be that we are still making decisions.
If you have any questions about the status of your application, you are welcome to contact our admissions team at admissions@lipa.ac.uk (for applicants within the UK) or international@lipa.ac.uk (for applicants outside the UK).
Our decision will be final. Unfortunately, due to the high volume of applications we receive, we are unable to offer feedback if you are unsuccessful.
