How to Apply

Information about the University of Surrey as a whole can be accesssed via the Postgraduate Prospectus on-line in pdf format.

1. Request an information pack on our MSc courses by emailing the MSc admissions office: feps-pg@surrey.ac.uk
2. Download a University-wide MSc application form
3. Complete the application form and send it to the University Registry as requested on the back of the form with a transcript of your degree or details and marks for what you have achieved to date.

What happens next

Registry record it and pass it to the department for references to be taken up. A transcript of the first degree may be asked for if it has not been included. Once references have been received the admissions tutor will make a decision to accept (either unconditionally or with certain conditions) or reject based on all the information provided.

If you meet our entrance requirements an official letter is sent from the Registry and you are asked to provisionally accept. This provisional acceptance does not restrict you from applying to other institutions.

Later in the year a letter requesting fees will be sent to all those who have provisionally accepted. If the acceptance is conditional upon exam marks etc. it is up to you to provide proof of having met the condition. It is not until you have provided fees or proof of how fees will be paid (for example, a scholarship, EPSRC award etc.) that you are considered to be fully accepted on the course, at which time accommodation offers and detailed joining instructions will be sent.

Although a date in the middle of August is that given by which date fees must be paid, anyone with an acceptance can come on to the course on the first day and provide their fees on arrival - however, we do not encourage this and accommodation etc will be difficult to arrange at such short notice.
