TO APPLY

Here are the steps you need to take to apply for your course and get your visa on time.
We understand that getting a visa and making arrangements to study with us takes time and we aim to support you where we can. We are here to help you every step of the way – just email global @ port. ac. uk with any questions.
STEP 2
Apply early so you
do not miss out
Accept your place
If you are successful, we will send you an offer of a place at the University. If this is‘ conditional’, it means there is at least one requirement you need to meet before you can join your course. You may be asked for English language qualifications or exam results and / or to pay a deposit.
As soon as you get your offer, you should review your conditions. Contact us if you have any questions. If you are happy with the offer, you can accept it via our online portal Applicant View or UCAS. Accepting your offer means that you have reserved a place on the course. It does not mean that the place is guaranteed; you will still need to meet the conditions of your offer.
If English is one of your conditions, you may want to consider a Pre-Sessional English course. You can study on campus or online. For details go to www. port. ac. uk / pre-sessional-english.
IMPORTANT: Upload
documents via
Applicant View
Your offer letter will tell you which documents you need to send us in order to meet your conditions. It is very important to upload these as soon as you have them. You can do this via your Applicant View or UCAS. Please check your emails regularly( including your spam folder) for messages from us.
