Selection Process

Applications must be made online using King's Apply, the Admissions portal, and a non-refundable application fee of £130 applies.

Due to the large volume of applications, this programme has an additional selection stage for applicants who meet our advertised academic entry requirements.

Selection Stage

Once your application and supporting documentation has been received via King’s Apply Portal, we will evaluate your application, and if selected, you will be invited to participate in a video assessment on the Kira Talent online platform. The assessment will involve recording answers to a number of unseen questions in real time. You will not need additional software for this exercise.

If you are invited to participate in the video assessment, you will be sent details of how to access and use the Kira Talent on-line platform and guidance on how to use it via email. There are no additional application charges. 

Due to this additional selection stage, some applicants may have to wait longer for an application outcome and in some cases decisions may be held post interview due to the limited number of places on this programme.

Please see our Applicant Data Collection Notice here.
