HOW TO APPLY FOR 2025 ENTRY
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: Our assessment of your application
We'll review your application carefully and if we think you are on course to meet our entry requirements and depending on the number of applicants, we’ll send you a date to attend one of our interview events. If you live in the UK, you will be invited to an in-person interview. If you live overseas we will invite you to take part in an online interview. We aim to give you at least four weeks' notice of the interview event.
Step 2: Preparing for the interview
We will email you the relevant interview guidelines to give you time to help you prepare yourself.
We will also add the guidelines to this website page in November.
Step 3: Attending an interview event
We know interviews are nerve-wracking so your best approach will be to prepare by reading our guidelines carefully and as soon as possible after you receive them. At your interview we're interested in finding out about you as an individual, so please try to relax, be yourself and enjoy yourself on the day.
Step 4: Communicating our decision
We aim to let you know our decision within two working weeks of the interview, although some decisions may not be made until all candidates have been seen. The decision might be:
- An unconditional offer of a place
- A conditional offer based on exam results or further assessed work
- A notification that your application has been unsuccessful
Our decision will be final. We do not supply feedback to unsuccessful candidates. In many cases, a lack of success is due to the level of competition for places, rather than a specific personal weakness.
