How to Apply

  • To apply, all candidates must complete and upload a 2025 Recruitment Information Form to the application portal. This is the only form that will be used to shortlist candidates; therefore, if not uploaded, candidates cannot be put forward for shortlisting.
  • The reason for this is to reduce the impact of unconscious bias in recruitment. We therefore ask that when completing this, please only provide the information requested. Information not relevant at this stage includes name, gender, ethnicity, and/or nationality, as well as the names of institutions where you attended or trained.
  • To ensure that the Recruitment Form can be matched with your application, please ensure that you add your application number (generated when you start an online application) to the recruitment form.
  • Candidates will need to additionally upload the following documents to their online application:
    • CV/Resume
    • Recruitment Information Form
    • Academic transcript
    • Passport (a scan of the passport page)
    • Details of referee 1 (should be from an academic who has knowledge of your academic ability from your most recent study/programme)
    • Details of referee 2 (should be from an academic who has knowledge of your academic ability)
  • If you need any assistance with your application, please refer to the guide below in the first instance. Please note that the admissions portal will ask you to upload a cover letter. This is not required; however, you will need to upload something to proceed, so please upload a blank Word document.
