27th January 2012

Due to a high volume of applications, workloads, and IT issues we are not able to process In Year applications during the week of 30th January 2012 for a period of 5 days.

We will of course try to process as many applications as possible the following week.

Please do not telephone for an update during this period as we will not be in a position to process applications and this will prevent us from being able to prioritise work effectively.

Our customer service team will not be able to pass calls relating to In Year admissions directly to admissions officers unless your call is deemed urgent.

We apologise in advance for any inconvenience.
