Admission Decisions
The application form for RBS courses
is available online. All applications are acknowledged upon receipt. Admission
to RBS courses is on a rolling basis. The first round of admit decisions for
each course is made three months before the course begins, and admit
letters put into the US post. Applications received thereafter are
processed immediately. RBS accepts applications until the week in which the course runs, but chances
of admission are greatly increased if the application is received two weeks
ahead of the initial round of admit decisions.

Frequency of Course Offerings
Not all of the courses listed in the
RBS Course Bulletin will be offered this
year. Some courses are offered in alternate years, and on occasion RBS
faculty members may wish to take an informal sabbatical, and their courses
may disappear from the Schedule for a year or two as the
result.
In general, however, all RBS courses not offered
annually are on a two-year cycle, and courses missing from the Schedule
this year may be expected with some confidence to reappear in the
Schedule next
year.
