How to apply for an undergraduate course

For undergraduate courses starting in 2022, you should submit your university application by the 26 January UCAS equal consideration deadline. The equal consideration deadline means universities must consider all applications received by this time equally, and so do not have to consider applications received after the deadline.

Don’t forget to use a personal email address rather than a school or college one when applying, as this may become inactive at a certain point and you’ll miss out on vital information from us.

  • Admissions policy

    Find out how to request a review or make a complaint in regard to admissions.

    We are committed to providing transparent information to our potential applicants to assist them when they are deciding which programme to study.

    The information published on our transparency page shows:

    • The number of applications for admission on to recognised, undergraduate higher education courses that we have received from UK domiciled applicants.
    • The number of offers we have made in relation to those applications.
    • The number of those offers accepted and the number of those who have registered with us.
    • The number of students who attained a particular degree or other academic award, or a particular level of such an award, on completion of their course with us.
    It also shows these numbers by reference to:
    • The gender of the individuals to which they relate
    • Their ethnicity
    • Their socio-economic background.

    You can read the University's admission policy in full within our Governance section.

  • Under 18 at the time of registration

    In some cases, students who are applying to study with us may not have reached the age of 18 years at the time of registration. Although we recognise that all students expect to receive the educational service that they are paying for, students under the age of 18 will not legally have reached the age of adulthood in the UK and so they will still be subject to certain rules and requirements that apply to those under the age of 18 (for example, in relation to safeguarding). This may have an impact on how the University delivers its programmes: for example, it may present challenges for the University in securing an appropriate range and scope of practice placements, which might cause delays to the programme of study or have financial implications for those under 18. The University will take all reasonable steps to seek to minimise any disruption to study arising from this.  Should you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your options.

  • Student transfer arrangements

    We understand that sometimes a student changes their mind, or their circumstances change which means they wish to change their choice of degree or Higher Education Provider.  If this applies to you, we are fully committed to supporting you through this process.

    You can find out more about the student transfer arrangements on this page.
