- If you decline your legal claim
⚠ If you have a legal claim to admission and choose to decline your offered study place, you lose your claim to that programme in the current admission round.
Waiting list
If all study places are filled, qualified applicants may be placed on a waiting list. This means that you have been assessed as academically qualified for the MSc programme, but no study places are currently available. Being placed on a waiting list does not guarantee admission. If a study place becomes available, offers will be made to applicants on the waiting list. To remain on the waiting list, you must follow the instructions and deadlines provided in your waiting list letter.
Postponement
Can you defer your admission to a later intake?
⚠ It is not possible to postpone (defer) your admission offer to a later intake. If you are unable to start your studies, you must apply again in a future admission round.
