How to Apply

It’s wise to apply as early as possible for the course you’d like to join as courses fill up quickly.

We can process applications up to the start of a course, but it’s always good to know you’ve got an offer early.

The application forms ask for a lot of information which we use to ensure everyone is treated fairly. We will need to assess your suitability for the course and understand if there are any circumstances which might affect your study.

Students with disabilities/learning difficulties

The College aims to provide support that will help you learn to the best of your ability. A wide range of help is available for physical or sensory impairments, dyslexia or other needs which might affect your learning. Please inform us so we can discuss the type of support we can offer.

You have a right to confidentiality and we will agree with you how any information you provide will be used.

How to Apply

We hold several open events during the year where you can meet staff and students and ask any further questions you have about your course.
