Please note that we strongly encourage that all applicants have fully engaged with the support and resources available before submitting an application. If you have not attended a pre-submission workshop or drop in session we recommend you do so in order to obtain constructive feedback on your application and reduce the risk of having to resubmit your application.

Once your application is submitted, it will be checked by an adminstrator and forwarded to College reviewers. You will receive an email confirming your application number at this stage. After review, your application will be sent to the next available STAR review panel for consideration, please note that if a large number of applications are received for a given review panel, your application may be defered to the following panel. A final decision along with feedback on your application will be emailed to you as soon as possible after the outcomes meeting, usually within 10 working days. Review panel dates can be found in the box on the left hand side of this page.
