King's College London

We encourage you to apply as early as possible so that there is sufficient time for your application to be assessed and we may need to request further information from you during the application process.

ATAS clearance if you receive an offer: the MRes stream of the programme requires all non-EU/EEA/Swiss nationals (with some exceptions) to have an ATAS certificate before they can enrol at King’s – this clearance can take a number of months (minimum 30 working days) and expected to be longer particularly during April and September. We therefore advise applying as soon as possible and earlier than the below deadlines to avoid any delay in obtaining this certificate.

Our first application deadline is on 9 March 2026 (23:59 UK time). The final application deadlines for this programme are:

• Overseas (international) fee status: 25 July 2026 (23:59 UK time)
• Home fee status: 25 August 2026 (23:59 UK time)

After the first application deadline in March:

• if the programme is not yet full, we will continue to accept applications until all available places are filled up to the final application deadlines above
• if the programme becomes full before the final application deadlines stated above, we will close the programme to further applications

Please note, you will not be eligible for an application fee refund if you apply after the first application deadline, and we are unable to process further offers because places are filled and we close the course before the final application deadline.
