Welcome to Step 1 of the application process.

This is the correct page to start a new application or to amend an existing application if you are not currently registered on a Milpark PGDA or Bridging programme.

We offer 2 programmes that you can apply for, the:

Before applying, please ensure that you have read the information about these programmes, including admission requirements and costs, so that you are clear on the programme for which you would like to apply.

Please note: It takes us about 5 – 7 days to process an application and give you initial feedback.

If you are waiting for results from your current year of study, it is important to only apply once you have final results. If you apply before you have final results, we cannot assess your application properly and there is a risk that your application is not given the correct outcome.

These applications are only for our first intake of 2024 that starts in February 2024.

  • Our February 2024 PGDA starts on 12 February 2024 (full planner here).
  • Our February 2024 Bridging programme starts on 29 January 2024 (full planner here).

Registrations remain open for 1 week after the programme starts.
You should however apply and register as early possible as it can take up to 2 weeks to register and obtain access to material, and you are at a disadvantage if you start late.
There is introductory material that is released ±1 week before programmes officially start and it is helpful to have time to work through this before the programmes start.

If you need any assistance, please email [email protected].

  • We try to reply to all emails sent to this address in 1 business day when our offices are open (we are closed from 16 December to 3 January).

Applications that are initiated on or after 2 February 2024 that result in offers to our Bridging programme will be for our intake that starts in July 2024, i.e. these will be too late for our Bridging programme that starts in February 2024.
