UK Regulatory, Funding and Statutory bodies require us to collect the following information. Questions about your ethnic origin, national identity, and occupational background are mandatory questions used for monitoring purposes and there are further optional questions which relate to equality monitoring, asking about your religion or belief, sexual orientation, and whether you identify as transgender. Answers to these questions will have no influence on the application process. This information will only be shared with our regulatory bodies as necessary after you have secured a place in our application cycle
