Where do we get your data from?
We get the information directly from you when you submit the application form.

If you are offered funding, we will also collect bank details and other payment information to allow us to administer the scheme.
What is our legal basis for processing your data?
The University needs to collect and retain certain types of data, in various formats, about applicants.
Personal data will be processed:
- on the grounds of contractual requirement or to take steps to enter into a contract with you;
- because it is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (for information on our public task see our function as set out in our charter);
- to allow us to comply with our legal obligations.
Special category data will be processed in line with Article 9 (2) (b) processing necessary for carrying out obligations and rights in the field of employment law. Specifically, we are relying on the positive action provisions in the Equality Act 2010.
