How to Apply

When you have chosen a course, your next step is to apply. We understand that even at this stage you may still have some questions about our courses, facilities and other issues. Call our Customer Services team who will be happy to answer all your queries and help you with your application.

Full-time course applications
Entry requirements (to join the course)

Specific entry requirements for each course are given in the course information section.  Mature students without specific qualifications may be accepted on courses, depending on their previous experience and knowledge, and subject to a satisfactory interview.

When you come to fill in the Application Form, you will need to state both the qualifications you have already achieved and the exams you are sitting. If you would like to apply for more than one course you can do it on the same form.

We recommend that you apply for each course as early as possible to ensure your place on popular courses. We’ll send you an acknowledgement very soon after we receive your application. Shortly after that, we will write to you again inviting you to visit us for an informal interview with one of our trained interview tutors.
