If you want to understand whether you will meet our entry requirements then you can submit your CV to onlinemasters-info@wbs.ac.uk for a pre-check.
Please note: If you have previously studied for a Postgraduate Award on the Global Central Banking and Financial Regulation programme, and would like to undertake a further module, or build up to a higher qualification level, then you do not need to submit a new application. Simply email us at onlinemasters-info@wbs.ac.uk and let us know which module you would like to study next and we will begin the process.
Our application process
Follow our top tips for writing your application and include references, CV, transcripts, and statement of purpose.
Submit your application through Warwick Business School’s application portal.
Once you’ve submitted your application with all supporting documents the processing time is usually between 4-8 weeks, however please be aware that processing times do vary and may take longer during busier periods.
If your application is approved, the University will make an official offer of a place on the course. There will normally be a time limit to accept this.
Offers may be conditional on you meeting academic, language, or other requirements. Don't worry about this - many students have conditional offers. Once you have met your conditions, the offer will automatically be made unconditional.
If you accept our offer, you must pay your deposit (please see our Fees and Funding page for more information) within four weeks of the date of your offer letter. We will only refund this if you fail to meet the conditions of your offer.
You will receive an email from the enrolment team 4-6 weeks before your course start date or within a week of accepting your unconditional offer, detailing the tasks you need to complete as part of your enrolment.
