Once you’ve submitted your application, the Admissions team will pass it on to the Institute that best matches your profile. Applications that end up in the ICM, are discussed between the PGR Team and prospective supervisors and in case of acceptance, the actual registration process will be set in motion after Admissions receive some additional information from the supervisor.<\/p>\n
Staff applicants are best to submit their request for staff fees simultaneously. However, unlike the online study application, this is a paper form<\/a> which needs to be submitted to your institute. This can be done via e-mail at icm.pgstudentenquiries@ncl.ac.uk<\/a>. Once the staff candidature is approved by the Institute Director and the Dean of Postgraduate Studies, the Graduate School will process this on the applicant’s records which will enable Admissions to send an offer mentioning the reduced amount of Tuition Fees.<\/p>\n Every research project is allocated a JACS code – the supervisor chooses the most appropriate code for the project from a list. The selected code is especially important for international students because\u00a0some JACS codes require international students\u00a0to apply for ATAS clearance. This can be done online on\u00a0the Home Office Website<\/a>.<\/p>\n If you haven’t met all the conditions before starting your course, you will receive a conditional offer letter telling you which conditions you’ll\u00a0have to meet\u00a0before receiving an unconditional offer letter and being allowed to complete registration. These conditions can be the receipt of reference letters, proof of your English language skills, providing\u00a0certificates, requesting ATAS clearance…<\/p>\n Acceptance of the conditional offer letter can be done online via your S3P account.<\/p>\n Once all conditions have been met, you will receive an unconditional offer letter which you\u00a0will also be able to accept\u00a0by using your\u00a0S3P account.\u00a0Once the unconditional offer has been accepted, the only thing standing in the way of completing registration, is a financial hold that will only be lifted when your tuition fees<\/a> have been paid.<\/p>\n Once you’ve accepted your unconditional offer and\u00a0paid your\u00a0fees, you will be able to complete\u00a0registration on S3P – unless there’s any reason for you to decline the place you’ve been offered or defer it to a later date. At this point you should receive a notification explaining\u00a0how to obtain your smart card as well as gain access to your postgraduate e-mail account and PGR IT systems.<\/p>\n Occasionally, a student\u00a0asks for retrospective\u00a0registration. In the majority of cases, this doesn’t carry any benefits; all students pay fees for the full term of the qualification, and it is in any case possible to make a request for\u00a0early submission<\/a>. In fact, if there is any risk of over-running then it is a significant disadvantage to back-date a registration, because the deadline for final submission is brought forward.<\/p>\n On vary rare occasions, there might be a compelling case to back-date. For example, if the student’s financial support is tied to a particular registration period, and their registration has been delayed for some reason. These exceptions will be considered by the graduate school on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Once you’ve submitted your application, the Admissions team will pass it on to the Institute that best matches your profile.
