Found a course that you'd like to apply for? Here are the next steps:

Apply directly to Postgraduate

Applications for September 2027 entry to our on-campus postgraduate courses will open soon.

Applications for online courses commencing in early 2027 remain open.

We encourage you to apply early so that you have time to organise accommodation and to arrange for a visa (if required) before you enrol.

To continue an unfinished AUB application, you need to go to our Application System.

Step 1: Complete application

Step 2: Track the progress of your application

When we receive your application, we’ll email you that includes your login details for the AUB applicant portal. You can use this to monitor the progress of your application.

We'll contact you via here if we need any further information and to arrange an online interview or request a digital portfolio.

We realise that it may not be possible for some applicants to attend an interview, especially if you don’t live in the UK. If this is the case, we’ll ask you to send us a link to your online portfolio instead. We’ll send you instructions on how to submit this – you don’t need to do so unless we have requested this.

You’ll have 30 days to submit your portfolio, but please do contact us if you need more time or if you have any questions.

We may also invite you to an online interview.

If you need any help with your portfolio, we've created specific portfolio guidelines for each of our courses.

Step 3: Accept your offer

You can view and accept your offer via the AUB Applicant Portal. We ask you to respond as soon as you can and we’ll expect a reply before the end of the Summer Term.

If your offer is conditional, you can accept it before you meet any conditions. We’ll then be in regular contact by email and the AUB applicant portal to give you information about accommodation, your visa application (if applicable) and your arrival.

Once you receive your results, you’ll need to email a copy of your official results (a scan, photocopy or image is fine) to our Admissions team. We’ll send you a reminder nearer the time.

Once your place at AUB is confirmed, we’ll send you your confirmation letter and a Welcome Guide, with all the information you need to start the course.

If you're joining us from outside the UK, the international team will be in touch to help you prepare for your arrival.

If you change your mind about studying for an MA course, you can cancel your acceptance within the cancellation period of 14 days.
