Hints and tips
We make it quick and easy to apply for the course you want. To help make sure you get on your course, here’ s a few dos and don’ ts to remember.
DO be ready to get your application in. Once applications are open in January 2026, the sooner you apply the better your chance of getting on the course you want.
DO think about the course you want to do the most. You can apply for more than one course, but you can only accept one offer. And only one application will be progressed at any one time. So to give you the best chance of getting on the course you really want, have a think about which one is best suited to you and your plans for the future.
DO keep checking your emails. When you apply online, we’ ll keep in touch with you by email. But remember to check your junk email folder just in case our email has ended up there.
DON’ T wait for all your exam results. Conditional offers for places can be given subject to you passing your exams, so you can apply before you get your results.
DON’ T feel you need to do it all in one go. Once you’ ve set up your login details, you can return to your application form at a later date. Just remember your username and password!
DON’ T panic about interviews. This is also your chance to speak to course staff face-to-face and ask any questions you have.
