Application Pathways

Applications for full-time undergraduate courses should be submitted through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). You are permitted to choose up to five course/institution choices, however we would encourage all applicants to research course content carefully before making final choices. Further guidance about how to apply and write your personal statement can be found on the UCAS website. 

You should aim to submit your application by the UCAS equal consideration deadline in January each year; applications received after this date will still be considered subject to the availability of spaces on your chosen course. An up to date list of current vacancies is available on the UCAS website.

The UCAS application fee is currently £27, and you can make a maximum of six choices.

Some of our courses have different admission and selection criteria, such as interviews or portfolio reviews. Visit the entry requirements section of the each course page to learn more about any additional requirements.
