Brunel OT MSc Program Application Process

Hello! I'm an American interested in applying to the MSc OT program at Brunel starting September 2025. I saw online that the deadline isn't until July but that sometimes it can fill up before then? I was curious what people's experiences were regarding when it was too late to reply and still have a good shot of getting accepted. Thanks!

Hi! 😊
That’s awesome that you’re considering Brunel for the MSc OT programme! You’re right that the official deadline is in July, but it’s definitely a good idea to apply earlier if you can. Popular programs like this can fill up quickly, especially as offers start going out and spots get taken.
From what I’ve heard, applying by late winter or early spring (like February/March) gives you a much better chance of securing a place. It also leaves you plenty of time to sort out everything else, like visas and accommodation.
Best of luck with your application

Thank you for the information, I appreciate it! Do you know if the program requires a certain amount of hours shadowing OT clinics to consider applicants?
