    Yes, we don't take the university attended into account so you're absolutely welcome to apply. There isn't really anything different you'd need to do in order to apply or any other steps required.

    Hi! No problem. So we don't communicate any outcomes until after all of our Assessments have been completed - we'll aim to do this by the 1st or 2nd week in March. For the case study, our assessors are looking at how well you are able to understand and communicate the case study.
