What happens after I apply?
The MSc in Global Health Science and Epidemiology is an extremely popular course and is usually over-subscribed. Applications submitted after the December deadline cannot be guaranteed a place on the course.
All applications are carefully considered by an admissions panel comprised of at least two members of the academic team. Admissions decisions are notified to applicants in writing. Regrettably, it is not possible for the administrative team to discuss individual application decisions by phone.
