We hope to welcome a diverse group which may include young adults taking a gap year, or those with a previous professional training and experience, either taking a sabbatical or in search of a new, more creative or more socially/environmentally engaged direction to their work.  As explained on the previous page, we ask for a written personal statement with a particular question, concern or aim formulated, with a view to your working on it through the course of the programme.

You will be expected to demonstrate that you have a reasonable knowledge of the English language.

How to apply:

You will be asked to register. Once you have registered, you will be given an Application Reference Number. This number should be quoted in all further correspondence and on any papers that you wish to submit separately.
