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. 

Students with disabilities/learning difficulties

Whatever it is that you may need help with, our team can work with you to put in place the right support that meets your needs. 

How to Apply

You can make an application online from each course page where there are links to online admissions.

You can apply for more than one course by adding them to your basket.

To complete the application process you will need to register, or login if you already have a user account.

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.

If you’d rather submit a paper application form (these are available from our main campus and any of our learning centres), please complete it and send to:
