How MHSP processes applications
The MHSP programme is extremely popular and we recommend you apply as early as possible. Both courses (MSc Mental Health Studies and MSc Organisational Psychiatry and Psychology) on the programme are usually full by the end of July. The application portal is open from the start of each academic year (October).
MHSP offers a proportion of places at the beginning of each month, starting from January. The programme operates a system called \'gathered fields\' which is commonly used for popular postgraduate courses because it helps ensure the best candidates receive offers, as opposed to \'first come, first served\'. This means that if you just miss a gathered field (ie apply early in the month) you will hear the outcome of your application at the next one (i.e. start of the next month).
