Applying

How we assess your application

In considering your application, we consider:

• Your achieved academic performance in level 2 and 3 qualifications (GCSEs, A and AS Levels, and their equivalents)
• Your predicted performance in future examinations
• Your personal statement
• Your reference
• Any additional statement supplied by your school or college regarding any special personal or extenuating circumstances which may impact, or have impacted on your studies.

Alongside these factors, we may also take into account the educational context in which your academic achievements have been gained. For further information please see the section on School Performance in our Admissions Policy.

Please ensure you refer to our general and specific entry requirements information and check the most up-to-date entry requirements in the individual subject entries.

Interviews

The majority of courses do not require an interview as part of the selection process. Where an interview is included in the process, this is made clear in the individual entry requirements. The purpose and format of the interview will be communicated to you clearly in advance so you know what to expect and what role this plays in the overall selection process.
