Admission Requirements:

Broadly, we look at:

• Your academic qualifications \xc2\x96 actually achieved or predicted
• Your ability to study at the relevant level. This may be demonstrated by other evidence as well as, or occasionally instead of, your qualifications.
• Your potential to take increasing responsibility for your own learning.
• Your motivation to engage intellectually with issues in theology or philosophy.

We take account of:

• Your personal statement, in particular:
• Your reason for applying to a particular programme
• Any work or related experience you have, paid or unpaid, and any other positions of responsibility you have held
• Your academic reference. We need information about your academic development and progress as well as what grade predictions they have for you.
• Any health, personal or academic problems you have encountered during your studies. Sometimes, short-term problems which affected your achievement or your grades may be taken into account when considering your application.

We will normally acknowledge your application within one week. Heythrop prefers to do this by email.

Your application is checked to ensure it is complete and includes academic references and documentary proof of your qualifications. You will be contacted if anything is missing. Your application will not be processed until all paperwork is received.

Normally, all applicants who meet the minimum entry requirements will be asked to attend an interview at Heythrop, and they will be advised of the outcome of their interview within one week. If a place is offered conditionally, you will need to provide evidence to Heythrop by a certain date that you have met the conditions.
