The easiest way by Applying Online or by completing the application form. (pdf)

Once you have completed the application form, you should send us the following supporting documents by email, fax or post:

Copies of transcripts and certificates from all previous studies, i.e. secondary school
2 letters of reference, one of which must be academic, the second can be academic, professional or personal (cannot be from a family member) (please note the letters must be written on letter-headed paper and must be signed)
If not a native English speaker, proof of English proficiency in the form of an IELTS, TOEFL or Cambridge Advanced English certificate*
A 300-500 word personal statement giving the reasons for applying to the chosen course at LSFMP
A copy of the passport photograph page
2 passport sized photographs (Please click here for information on how to send photographs)

* This requirement may be waived if the last three years of your education were in English.

There is no application fee.

Step 2 - Making an Offer

Once we have received your application form and supporting documents, the Admissions Officer will assess whether you meet our minimum entry requirements and will either make you an offer by email and letter, or notify you that you have been unsuccessful.

If you have completed your education and have met all the entry requirements, you will be sent an unconditional offer. If you still have to finish your exams, or have yet to submit documentation, you will be issued a conditional offer.

You can expect to receive a decision on your application within 10 working days of receipt of your documents.

Step 3 - Accepting the Offer

If you wish to accept our offer, you must inform the Admissions Department of your decision, and then reserve your place on your chosen programme by sending us the registration payment. If you have applied through UCAS, you will also need to complete the confirmation process as instructed.

Step 4 - Full Acceptance and Visa

On receipt of your registration payment, LSFMP will issue the final set of documentation and where needed, the relevant visa support documentation. To find out if you need a student visa, please visit the Visa & Immigration section of this site, which also contains links to other useful sites.

In the unlikely event that you are refused a visa, all funds paid to LSFMP will be returned in full. A copy of your visa refusal letter will be required.

Step 5 - Accommodation

The next important stage to consider is where you are going to stay whilst studying at LSFMP. Our Accommodation Officer is at hand to talk you through the options available - including our own halls, private flats, private student halls, homestay and much more.

See the Accommodation section of our website for further information

Step 6 - Confirmation & Registration

A few weeks prior to your start date, you will be sent an orientation pack and joining instructions.

A member of the LSFMP Admissions Team will contact you to confirm your intention to register. During registration you will be provided with your induction timetable, and the Admissions Team will hand over to the Academic Team to welcome you to the School.

If you need any assistance during your application, please do not hesitate to contact us - we are here to help!
