Hello,
I'm very interested in the MBA program at the University of Westminster and I would like to apply for the course of September 2012. But I still have to clarify a lot of things with my company before I can send the application.

Does anyone have a rough idea of when my application should be sent out at the latest to still have a realistic chance to be part of the September course?
Thank you very much for your help!

If this deadline information isn't clear from their website, you should feel free to ring them up or email them.

Nondisclosure or ambiguity on business school websites about these kinds of practical things has to stop!!

Hi Philipp,
You can apply for until june 2012 if you are looking for sept 2012 intake. but it will also depend on your eligibility. It will be better if you can share your profile.

Can I ask why Westminster in particular? Seems that if your GMAT turns out good enough you could aim for a higher ranked UK program, like Cambridge/Judge or Oxford/Said.

I took Westminster into consideration because they have a marketing core module, interesting elective courses, they have an AMBA accreditation, are perfectly situated in the center of London and the fees are in the range I can live with.

See http://www.find-mba.com/board/23888 also for the discussion about Westminster or not.

I will go through the list of UK schools again since many of you seem to think I have made a wrong choice.

Thank you for your help!

If your five criteria only give you one choice, then perhaps your criteria are too rigid. Why not see the schools that meet three or four of your five criteria, and then pick the best of those?
