Applying to University

Once you’ve chosen which University you want to apply to, it’s time to choose a course. Information about the courses on offer at the University of Suffolk, including an overview of the course, course structure, entry requirements and fees/funding can we be found on our Course Search. 

There are a few things that might help you with your decision, including speaking to your teachers or careers advisor at your school or college.
