How to apply

Discussing your application

In accordance with The Data Protection Act 1998, we must protect the information you disclose on any aspect of your application. In line with this legislation we are unable to discuss any aspect of your application with a third party unless (a) you have applied through an overseas agent or (b) we receive confirmation from you in writing stating your Exeter reference number, programme applied for, date of birth, details of the third party with whom you wish to give us permission to discuss your application and a satisfactory reason why this is required.

A third party might be a parent/guardian, family member, tutor, lecturer or careers adviser. This does not mean that we will refuse to accept information from a third party with reference to your application but we will not disclose information without your permission. All third parties must provide your Exeter Reference Number when dealing with the Admissions Office.

Please note: The Admissions Office is not in a position to share the applicant’s personal details (such as address or telephone number) with a third party or to make changes to their personal details at the request of a third party. Any changes to the applicant’s personal information must be communicated in writing to the Admissions Office by the applicant him/herself.
