Late Application Process
Late Applications
Late applications will only be considered for programmes/pathways where we have audition spaces available. We cannot guarantee that late applications will be accepted as many programmes are oversubscribed.
Please note: candidates who make a late application will be offered a recorded audition only – candidates will not be able to attend a live audition at the School.
After official deadlines have passed, we will close applications for programmes/disciplines as they become full. As a result, any late application you commence may be deleted at any time. Therefore, we strongly recommend that all late applications are completed in full as soon as possible after the deadline.
If you have missed the deadline, please see the below information, which outlines our late application procedure by programme.
Late Application Fees
There is no additional late application fee. Find more information about our application fees here.
