How to apply
You can make your application through the University’s online application portal.
What to include in your application
Please check that your qualifications match the entry requirements of the course you’re applying for. You can see the entry requirements on our course pages. If you’ve studied outside of the UK, see our international entry requirements.
When reviewing applications, we’ll pay particular attention to:
-
the relevance of your undergraduate degree subject
-
your academic performance.
If you need an earlier decision in order to meet a scholarship application deadline, please let us know through the ‘My Enquiries’ section of your application portal once you’ve applied.
If you're unsure about the application process, contact the admissions team via mediapg@leeds.ac.uk.
Documents to upload for all courses in media and communication
You’ll need to upload the following documents when applying for your course:
-
A copy of your degree certificate and transcript, or a current transcript if you’re still studying (please also provide an official translation if not originally in English).
-
An up-to-date CV / resume

An approved English language qualification, if applicable (you can apply for a Masters course before you’re able to provide this)
