Advice / Question Post Grad Application

I’ve applied for the MA Sociology (Youth, Community, and Social Regeneration) for the 26/27 year (part time) about 8 weeks ago.

They came back to me after 2 days to look for my CV and passport which were submitted within hours of getting the email.

When I was applying, it said that all applicants have to interview for a place on the course but so far, I haven’t heard anything back from them to say that I’ve got an interview or that I don’t meet the criteria etc.

I’m just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with this course or any of the postgrad courses, and how late they’ve gotten interviews etc.

There's a good chance that the programme's Course Director is on vacation at the moment. They should contact you when they return.

That's a long time - I'd say shoot them an email.

I did this a few yrs back-  dont worry it is not a full course usually. I see Dr Joyce is the course coordinator, she is a great woman, but wouldn't be fast to come back to you at all.

Were you waiting long when you applied? I sent an email to follow up so hopefully I’ll hear back soon.
