Applications Open
One form, an admissions team beside you at every stage, and a decision in about ten days. Here is where your place begins.
How It Works
The whole process is online, and you can save a part-finished application and come back to it whenever you like.
Browse the faculties and pick the degree or course that fits your goals. Every course page lists its entry requirements and intake dates.
Complete the online form with your details, academic history and a personal statement. There is no fee, and you can apply to up to three programmes at once.
Shortlisted applicants are invited to a short conversation with faculty — online or on campus, whichever suits you best.
Receive your decision, confirm your place, and join us for welcome week. Your personal tutor is assigned before you arrive.
Ways In

Single modules and professional certificates designed around working schedules, taught in the evening or in intensive blocks.
Browse programmesMature and Transfer Applicants
Roughly a quarter of our students did not come straight from school. If your qualifications are older, incomplete, or from a different system, that is not a barrier — it is a conversation.
Fees and Funding
No student should be priced out of a place they have earned. Several routes are available, and most are assessed alongside your application with no separate form to complete.
Questions
If your question is not here, the admissions team answers email within one working day.
Yes. You can name up to three programmes on a single application and we will consider you for each in the order you list them. There is no additional fee, and being unsuccessful for your first choice does not affect the others.
Apply anyway. We assess applications in the round, and a strong personal statement, relevant work experience or a good reference can offset a shortfall elsewhere. If direct entry is not possible we will usually offer a place on the foundation year instead.
No. Interviews are offered online or on campus, whichever suits you, and both carry exactly the same weight. Interviews last around twenty minutes and are a conversation about your interests rather than a test.
Most applicants receive a decision within ten working days of submitting a complete application. Programmes that require a portfolio or an audition can take a little longer, and we will tell you if that applies to you.
Yes. Once you hold an offer you can request a deferral of up to one year, and your scholarship award is deferred with it. Just let admissions know before the enrolment deadline.
Every first-year student who accepts an offer by the deadline is guaranteed a place in university halls. Returning students apply through a separate ballot, and the accommodation office helps with private housing.
A dedicated international team handles visa guidance, airport pickup, and a week-long orientation before term starts. English language support runs throughout the year at no extra cost.
In most cases yes. Send us your transcript and module descriptions and the faculty will map them against our programme. Successful transfers usually join in the second year.
Applications are open now for the September and January intakes. It takes about ten minutes and costs nothing.
Send one short enquiry and we will check availability in your age group, then invite you in for a look around.
Two short lists that answer the questions we are asked most often before a first visit.
If any of this is not quite your situation, please still get in touch — we would rather talk it through than turn a family away.
We take a new group at the start of each term, and keep a small number of places back for families who move mid-year.
