Masters Application Process

Gael23

Does anyone know what documents you need to upload though the online application system for a taught masters? I know as a current UL Student I dont need to supply transcripts but cant get a clear answer on what I do need to give

For mine it was
Transcript (current student not needed)
Copy of your long form birth cert
Deposit

And then an additional Personal Statement would be optional?

I have no idea , it's just something they ask for.
Should I be Applying sooner rather than later?

Very tough going, any master is. The workload increase from 4th year to masters is unbelievable at first. You need to be organised and willing to work constantly. But if you enjoy the subject material it's worth it, especially when its over:D

No current UL students dont have to provide transcripts

After applying to my masters I got this email below .

"the course director will ontact you about an interview in the near future" .

Is this a generic email ?
