MPhil and MSc application deadline for entry in October 2010
The University has three main application deadlines: 20 November 2009; 22 January 2010 and 12 March 2010. Japanese Studies uses all of the them. However, we suggest you apply by the January deadline if at all possible. All students who are accepted on either the MSc or MPhil in Modern Japanese Studies are then allocated a college place and this can be a lengthy procedure for later applicants. Please note that you will need to submit all the required supporting materials by the deadline and you will also need to make sure that your referees will submit their references by the deadline.
