Thanks for the replies, I'm applying to Roehampton.

Does anyone know of a regulatory organisation for PG admissions processes?

I've recently applied for an MA at a large, reputable UK Uni. On contacting the admissions department to check they'd received my application I was told that the course leaders had recommended that all candidates undertake a week long summer school to strengthen their applications. At the end of the summer school you would be invited for an interview if they were interested in you. Now, considering the summer school is run by the Uni and costs nearly £400 it feels that we're having to buy our place on the MA and if we don't get an interview or even a place on the course we're £400 out of pocket. I don't know of any other Universities that ask applicants to shell out, can they do this and is this accepted admissions practice? UKPASS and OIA have not been able to help.

Any advice would be welcome, thanks!
