<h2>Step 1. Before you start your application</h2> <p>You'll be asked to set up an account which means you can save your application and come back to it at a later date. If you need help you can also watch our videos on <a href="/study/masters/admissions/how-to-apply/#d.en.872959">how to create an account</a> and <a href="/study/masters/admissions/how-to-apply/#d.en.872960">how to submit an application</a>.</p> <p>Make sure that you use a personal email address when you register and not a University of Manchester address. <span class="TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW25059358 BCX0"><span class="TextRun SCXW25059358 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB">You’ll be asked to fill in some security questions, your answers will be used if you</span></span><span class="TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW25059358 BCX0"><span class="TextRun SCXW25059358 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"> ever</span></span><span class="TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW25059358 BCX0"><span class="TextRun SCXW25059358 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"> lose</span></span><span class="TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW25059358 BCX0"><span class="TextRun SCXW25059358 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"> or change</span></span><span class="TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW25059358 BCX0"><span class="TextRun SCXW25059358 BCX0" data-contrast="none" lang="EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"> your password, so we know it’s you.</span></span></p> <h2>Step 2. Starting your application</h2> <p>Once you start your application, use the left-hand navigation to move through the form, you can 'check your information' at each stage, which will:</p> <ul> <li>ask you to complete missing information or to correct formatting (such as dates);</li> <li>mark the section as 'complete';</li> <li>ask you to upload supporting documents, if needed.</li> </ul> <div class="accordion upgrade"> <div class="accordion-item" id="d.en.963998"> <h2><button class="accordion-item-button" id="accordion-item-963998-button" aria-controls="accordion-item-963998" aria-expanded="false" data-contenttype="Accordion"><span class="text">Check closing dates</span><span class="icon"></span></button></h2> <div class="accordion-item-content" id="accordion-item-963998" aria-labelledby="accordion-item-963998-button" hidden> <p>While lots of master’s courses do not have official closing dates, some do so you will need to check individual course pages for closing dates.</p> <p>If you want to apply for funding, you need to check funding bodies' closing dates. Most bodies usually expect you to have a provisional offer from the University before you apply for a studentship, scholarship or award.</p> </div> </div> </div> <a id="d.en.964002"></a> <h2>Step 3. Supporting documents</h2> <p>If you cannot upload supporting documents, there is often a field for you to say why so you can still submit your application; we will then give you instructions on how to add documents via an online portal, these usually include:</p> <ul> <li>evidence of qualifications (certificates or transcripts);</li> <li>evidence of English language ability, if English is not your first language (some test results are only valid for two years, your test report will need to be valid on the start date of your course);    </li> <li>a research proposal, always check the department website for instructions as these vary;</li> <li>check the department website for additional requirements (for example, some courses ask for specific information in a personal statement);</li> <li>you may need two references, they will be contacted and asked to submit a reference directly to us via our referee portal. We will let you know when they have done this. Make sure your referees are aware in advance as they play a vital part in the assessment of your application.</li> </ul> <div class="accordion upgrade"> <div class="accordion-item" id="d.en.964006"> <h2><button class="accordion-item-button" id="accordion-item-964006-button" aria-controls="accordion-item-964006" aria-expanded="false" data-contenttype="Accordion"><span class="text">Official translations into English</span><span class="icon"></span></button></h2> <div class="accordion-item-content" id="accordion-item-964006" aria-labelledby="accordion-item-964006-button" hidden> <p><span>If any of your certificates or transcripts have been issued in a language other than English, you should include with them official, authenticated English translations.</span><br /><br /><span>Official translations of qualifications documents are also a requirement of the UK government's visa regulations. </span><br /><br /><span>The translation should be on official letter-headed paper, clearly state that it is an accurate translation of the original, and include all the following pieces of information: </span></p> <ul> <li><span>The translator or translation company's name and contact details.  </span></li> <li><span>The translator or translation company's credentials or qualifications.  </span></li> <li><span>The date of the translation.  </span></li> <li><span>The translator's full name and signature, or the full name and signature of an authorised official from the translation company.  </span></li> <li><span>The translation should be done by an official translator/translation service.
