Application process
We are committed to diversity and inclusion and encourage applicants from all groups who are currently underrepresented in science.
Before starting your application, we encourage you to read the current guidance notes, which provide detailed information, supporting you through the application process.
You may submit an application at any time prior to starting your MBA course, however, we suggest you do not apply until you have submitted an application to one of the eligible business schools and think you will have a decision before the SMF interviews. Applicants who have already started at business school are also eligible to apply.
You may apply at any time, whether you have secured a place at an eligible school or not.
