Postgraduate
Guide to Study in the US
Postgraduate
Guide Sections
We have given a rough time scale that corresponds
with each of the following Guide sections. The recommended
FTC London Guide time scale assumes that you will start at
a US university in August or September. If you are
planning to start in January, the process can be significantly
shortened, as application deadlines are much closer
to enrolment dates.
