How to apply

Whether you’re applying from within the UK or from further afield, we aim to make the application process as straightforward as possible and consider every application individually.

The easiest way to apply for a postgraduate course is online. The online application form is simple to complete and you’ll find an apply button next to the course of your choice on our website.

What documents do I need to include?

Some additional documents are needed to help GCU evaluate your application. It’s easy to upload all the documents needed to support your application and submit everything together. Please note that some courses have application deadlines, which will be included on individual course web pages.

To support your application, you will need to provide:

  • Personal statement
  • References – one academic reference minimum
  • Academic or professional certificates
  • Academic transcripts
  • A copy of your passport identification pages (international students only)
