Successful candidates will be ambitious individuals with a strong track record of achieving academic and personal excellence. To be considered, you need to create a short video (no more than two minutes) which answers these three questions:

1. Tell us your experience of achieving academic and/or personal excellence in your life to date.

2. What are your plans to build on these efforts after completing your chosen master's programme?

3. How will your chosen master’s degree help you achieve this?

Submit your video via the application form

Applications are now live and will close following the timeline set out below. Videos should be submitted as a link to Google Drive, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Wechat Video or Douyin in the section indicated in the application form.

We're not looking for film-making or acting skills, but instead how you approach and answer the questions. And you don’t need to be in the video yourself if you don’t want to be. Alongside the video submission we will also take into consideration your Personal Statement and any extracurricular activities you have highlighted in the application form.
