How to apply

Apply now for PKP 2012!

Applications

Before applying students should ensure that they have read and understood all the information on our Terms and Conditions pages.

Students should apply online. Applicants will be asked to upload, or post to Pembroke College, a passport-style photograph, an academic transcript from their home university, an academic reference and a piece of graded written work of at least 1,500 words. More detailed information about the application process can be found on our Essential Programme Information pages.

The deadline for receiving applications is 1 June 2012. Applications are considered on a rolling basis and, given the intense competition for places, early application is advised. Pembroke College aims to communicate its decision within three weeks of receiving a complete application.

Students at the following universities also need to apply via their home institutions and should do so via the relevant website or communicate with the contact person to do this.

Students applying through the following providers should not apply directly to PKP, since their applications are managed by the providers, and students should instead communicate with the relevant contact person for further information.

Next steps

If admitted on the programme the applicant will receive an offer e-mail which will contain further instructions about choosing housing and course options. The online system will then allow the student to choose their preferred options, but course and housing choices will only be confirmed on receipt of the appropriate fees.

It is very important that applicants keep in mind that full and final acceptance on to the programme is subject to the availability of courses and accommodation and the full payment of programme fees. To make sure they are definitely on the programme applicants need to:

1. Select three courses and pay the tuition fee. Provisionally selecting courses but not paying the tuition fee does not guarantee course choices and options may become extremely limited over time! Remember that, once tuition fees are paid, course choices can be changed until 10 June 2012, if places are still available.

2. Similarly, no housing choices (or possibly housing at all) are guaranteed until the housing fee is paid in full! Note that, once made, the choice of housing is final.

Students can pay their tuition and accommodation fees, choose courses and accommodation options, and change course choices by returning to their online application.
