Once you have applied, a paper sift is made and the strong candidates for that are invited for interview and to provide them with more details of the course. Where this is practically difficult, as is often the case for overseas students, extended correspondence is used to clarify matters. In some cases with overseas students, applicants may be asked to complete a short piece of work on a particular problem set by the course Director. The reason for this is to help clarify whether this is the right course for you. Sometimes it is difficult to establish whether a student has a clear understanding of what the course is about so this is a useful way to examine whether the student would be a suitable candidate.
