On the Graduate Admissions page, it's mentioned that they will take 8-10 weeks after the deadline to get back to you with a decision. So for my course, the first deadline was the 10th of November. We can expect a decision from the 5th of Jan onwards (avg. time taken). Don't have any idea about interviews though.

All the best with your application!

January 5 is perhaps a bit too early due to the Christmas break and holidays :smile:

Yes, that's true. Last year people received offers on the 11th of January for example. I was just saying that the 8th week completes on the 5th of Jan if the deadline is the 10th of November. :smile:
