Your quicker route to postgraduate study
Take the VIP route to your postgraduate course
If you’re a Middlesex graduate, or a final year undergraduate heading for a 2:2 or above, you may be eligible for a fast track application onto many of our postgraduate courses.
For eligible courses, this means:
- A swift application process with no personal statement required
- Just one short form to complete, either via email or at one of our Postgraduate Open Days
- You could even get an offer on the day at one of our Postgraduate Open Days (subject to entry requirements).
How to fast track your postgraduate application
- Graduates and final year students will receive an email in February and May 2026 with a short form to complete, linked to your undergraduate subject area.
- Enter the undergraduate course you're currently studying or have completed.
- You'll see which postgraduate courses you're eligible to fast track.
- Our admissions team will confirm next steps and advise if any additional information is required.
- If the course you're interested in doesn't appear, our admissions team will be happy to help and advise on your options.
Places on some postgraduate courses are limited, so we recommend applying as soon as possible to secure your place for October 2026 entry.

Creative Arts applicants
If you’re planning to study a postgraduate Creative Arts degree but your current course sits outside the Creative Arts faculty, you’ll need to submit a portfolio of work.
If you need some guidance on how to prepare and submit your portfolio, please contact the Creative Arts faculty, or take a look at our portfolio guide.
