The easiest way to apply for a postgraduate programme is using our online application form. This form is simple to complete and allows you to upload additional documentation to support your application.
At peak times, the University receives an exceptionally high volume of applications and enquiries. We will make every effort to respond to applicants as soon as possible.
Please note that currently, it may take slightly longer than usual to respond to your enquiry or provide an initial decision on your application.
Some additional documents help GCU evaluate your application. They support the information you provided in your application form. Certificates, transcripts and references are very important. Your personal statement is your opportunity to tell GCU why you want to apply for your chosen course and so is equally as important.
