How to Apply for our Postgraduate Level Courses

Our Postgraduate Level Courses offer a fantastic opportunity to continue your education and practice.

To find out more about the courses and the work involved, we would recommend you attend one of our Open Days.

You should apply direct to the college at any time during the academic year September to July (although late applications will be considered over the summer).

We regret that we are currently unable to accept applications from international students.

If you would like to talk informally to someone about the course please email registry@hca.ac.uk
