What happens after you apply? 

When we receive your application, we will assess it on the basis of your personal statement, reference, and grades (achieved and predicted). We aim to look at the form as a whole and take into account all the information provided. We do not prioritise one section over another. 

Interviews

We may invite you to take part in an interview, so that we can find out more about your historical interests and why you want to come to Queen Mary.
