Start dates

You can start your degree in October, January, April or July each year. However we strongly recommend that you make your application as early as possible.

Application deadlines

The deadline for UK and EU applicants who want to start in October 2012 is 09 July 2012. The deadline for Studentship applications for October 2012 is 17 February 2012.

International applicants should familiarise themselves with any visa requirements and note that they will need to pay UEA a £2,000 deposit three months before their start date - and should therefore apply approximately four months before their desired start date in order to allow time for their application to be processed.

For further information and general enquiries please contact the Postgraduate Research Office (PPE) (tel. +44 (0)1603 591709).
