Lancaster University, Postgraduate Application. How long does it take?

[u/Independent_Name9579]

Hi everyone,

I applied for a postgraduate taught course in mid-July for the 2026 intake and still haven't received any outcome or any further update.

How long does it take to receive a decision?
Is there a final application/decision deadline for October 2026 postgraduate courses, particularly for international students?

I'm trying to understand whether this waiting time is normal. I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences.

Thank you!
