Applying to Queen's
We encourage you to apply as early as possible
As part of the University’s Student Portal, you are able to submit an application online for admission to the vast majority of postgraduate programmes (see exceptions below) and also for awards administered by the University. This streamlines the procedures and in particular helps those wishing to make multiple applications. It also means that you will receive feedback through the portal when a decision is made.

When to apply
In general, there are no closing dates for taught degrees or research programmes (see exceptions below). However, we encourage you to apply as early as possible. This is important because a number of our programmes receive more applications than there are places available and arrangements may have to be made for tests, interviews and the collection of references, where required. In addition, international students need to allow time to obtain a visa.
If you are seeking financial support, you should refer to the relevant School’s web page for information on deadline dates for postgraduate funding applications, as these will also determine when your application for a place should be submitted. Closing dates apply for admission to the programmes listed below.
