Getting everything organised to join a course can take longer than you think. We suggest that you apply by June for October PhD start dates. We continue to welcome applications after these dates, but provide these target deadlines to help you avoid disappointment.  

If you need to apply for a visa to study in the UK, the target deadlines are particularly important. You should give yourself every opportunity to get your visa, book flights and organise accommodation in time to start your chosen course.
