Revised application process

In these uncertain times, it’s easy to worry about how the current situation will impact on your course, your future and your dreams.

We’re committed to ensuring that you won’t be disadvantaged!

We’ve adapted our application process in keeping with social distancing. For the time being, we will not be holding open events or conducting interviews. Instead, your conditional offer will be based on predicted or forecasted achievements. 

You may also be required to undertake vocational bridging programmes to ensure you have the right knowledge and skills you need to begin your course.
