Application procedures & Deadlines

You are welcome to submit your application for any of our application deadlines. Applications are processed by the Admissions Team on a rolling basis which means that once we have received your completed application form AND supporting documents (such as your academic transcripts for your degree), we aim to get back to you with a decision on your application within 3 weeks. Please note, however, that the turnaround time for the reviewing of applications may take longer during peak periods. We advise you to apply as early as possible as competition for places means that some programmes are filled up before the final deadline.

NB: Please ensure that you select the correct term code '2011/2012 September' academic year when submitting your application.

Supporting documents can be scanned and uploaded to the online application system for the purpose of reviewing your application. Supporting documents include the following:

• Academic transcripts for each year of your Bachelor’s degree/Higher Diploma/Masters to date. Academic transcripts are documents issued by your University/College which state all of the subjects which you have taken as part of your studies and the grades which you have achieved in each subject area.
• An up to date Curriculum Vitae
• Letters of Recommendation (where required)
• English Language test score (IELTS/TOEFL/TOEIC) (where applicable)

Present or past UCD students are not required to submit their academic transcripts or a copy of their passport/birth certificate.

IMPORTANT: If you receive an offer of a place on one of our programmes you will be required to send by mail (or deliver in person) hard copy, official or verified academic transcripts for each individual year of your undergraduate degree stating all subjects taken and grades achieved. Scanned copies or photocopies of documents will NOT be accepted at this stage. Original transcripts are those which have been printed on the official headed paper of your University/College and they may be stamped or signed by the awarding institution.
