APPLICATION OVERVIEW AND TIMELINE

---

Once a student has completed their education at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, or another accredited magical institution, they are eligible to apply for entry into the Collegium.

The Collegium is a highly selective programme that emphasises excellence, magical proficiency, and a demonstrated commitment to healing. Admission is competitive, and places are limited each year.

Applications open annually on October 1st during a student’s seventh year. At this stage, OWL results will be reviewed, and candidates may be granted conditional acceptance based on academic performance, aptitude, and overall suitability for the programme. Applicants will be notified of conditional decisions by January.

Final consideration is granted following the submission of NEWT results, at which time the Collegium will issue unconditional acceptance offers. Successful applicants will be notified no later than the third week of June.

Applicants who are not accepted may re-sit relevant examinations through ministry-approved channels and are welcome to reapply in the following academic year.

Volunteerism and prior experience in healing — particularly structured or supervised work such as within your school's Hospital Wing — will be taken into consideration. Strong preference is given to applicants who can demonstrate sustained engagement and practical exposure, whether gained during or outside of formal schooling.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

---

The initial course of study will run for three (3) years. At the end of the programme, graduated collegium fellows will be considered competent at general healing care. This allows these newly minted healers to open their own private practices, gain employment at St. Mungo's in a generalised manner or pursue specialisation. Without specialisation, the healer is only permitted to treat general cases, offering basic care.

The following is a breakdown of the programme by year:

SPECIALISATION OVERVIEW

---

At the end of the initial three years of study, healers are encouraged to pursue further specialisation in a suitable field of interest. Acceptance into each field is determined by past performance and the healer's aptitude for their area of interest. A standard exam will be held prior to entry into any of the specialisation programmes. It is typically held at the end of July, with results available for programme placement by the beginning of the new academic year.

During this time, healers are placed into paid employment on the ward of their chosen field, allowing them to earn (45ʛ/month stipend) and gain practical experience alongside their seasoned counterparts. During this time, clinic duties become mandatory, and each healer is responsible for ensuring they meet the minimum hours required for graduation from their programme.

Each specialisation programme spans two to four years, depending on the complexity and risk associated with the chosen field. While all programmes share a foundational structure, each department maintains its own expectations, assessments, and practical benchmarks.

Specialisation training places a heavy emphasis on hands-on experience, professional judgement, and independent decision-making. Healers are expected to demonstrate not only technical proficiency, but also emotional resilience, ethical reasoning, and the ability to operate under pressure.

Failure to meet programme standards may result in remediation, extension of training, or, in rare cases, removal from the programme.

Requirements during specialisation period:

While enrolled in a specialisation programme, healers must:

• Maintain active employment within their assigned ward
  
  
• Complete a minimum number of supervised clinical hours per term
  
  
• Pass all required theoretical and practical assessments
  
  
• Attend mandatory case reviews, ethics panels, and emergency simulations
  
  
• Demonstrate continued growth in spellwork, diagnostics, and patient care
  

Evaluations are conducted at the end of each academic year and take into account both technical skill and professional conduct.

At the end of the programme, a healer is considered fully licensed to operate within the given field, whether at St. Mungo's or other wizarding hospitals throughout the magical world.
