To apply for most of our postgraduate programmes at King's you will need to complete our postgraduate online application form. A minority of programmes have a different application procedure which will be outlined below. Applying online makes applying easier and quicker for you, and means we can receive your application faster and more securely.
King's does not normally accept paper copies of the postgraduate application form as applications must be made online. However, if you are unable to access the online postgraduate application form, please contact the relevant admissions/School Office at King's for advice.

If you have already applied to King's through our online application form you can check the status of your application by logging into myApplication myApplication

Interviews will take place in blocks throughout 2013, with each block having its own deadline (for fully completed applications) as below:

First deadline: 1 May 2013 (interviews in week commencing 20 May 2013). Second deadline: 16 July 2013 (interviews in week commencing 5 August 2013).

International students may be interviewed by telephone. Applications received after the 16 July 2013 may be accepted should places still be available.



PERSONAL STATEMENT & SUPPORTING INFORMATION
Research interests: We do not expect applicants to have a full research proposal/research title in mind at this stage, however when completing the application form we do ask that you include a statement detailing your research interests. This should be equivalent of approximately one side of A4, and can be uploaded as an attachment.


Writing sample: Please provide a recent sample of writing preferably on a topic or within a discipline related to education. This writing should be for work at Masters level or above. It could come from coursework, dissertation or even published research (single-authored). If you do not have such a sample of work, please contact us to receive a topic on which to write a sample for the application. Writing samples should be uploaded as an attachment in the Research Proposal section of the application form.
