Higher Education - How to Apply

Once you’ve decided to apply for a course, you’ll need to work out whether you satisfy our entry requirements (or will have done by the time your course starts). Providing you meet the criteria, you can then apply for your course. Full-time applications go through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS), although graduates of our foundation degrees progressing to a relevant top-up programme can (subject to certain criteria) apply to the College direct.

UCAS applications have an application deadline of 15th January for equal academic consideration. We strongly advise that you apply before this date. If you miss the UCAS deadlines, you will need to go through Clearing. For a part-time place you must apply to the College direct. Before an offer of a place is made, some applicants will need to attend an interview and/or audition - we will keep in touch with you to let you know exactly what’s needed.

Course eligibility

The entry requirements section of each course tells you how many UCAS tariff points you will need to do that particular course along with any other information you need to know. The table opposite allows you to work out whether your qualifications add up to enough UCAS tariff points to do the course you want.

If your qualifications aren’t listed here you’ll be able to find them at www.ucas.com, which details comprehensive entry criteria for every course. All you need to do is run a course search for the programme that interests you then click on Entry Requirements to find out whether the qualifications you have will enable you to get onto the course. If you’re still unsure about whether you qualify for entry then please contact our Admissions Team on Tel: 01253 504346, who’ll be happy to help.
