UK/EU students

Applying for undergraduate degrees

If your child is a UK or EU national and they want to study full-time for an undergraduate degree, they have to apply through the Universities Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS)

Applying for postgraduate degrees

Postgraduate students need to apply in a slightly different way. The application is done directly through us via the apply links on the top of each course page.

International students

If your child is from outside the EU or EAA, they are considered an International student.  

International students need to apply through the links on the course pages in the same way postgraduate students apply.

There are three ways they can make the application: 

Option one: Apply online

To apply directly, your child needs to click the apply link on the course they're interested in.

Read more about applying online.

Option two: UCAS – undergraduate only

International and UK students apply for undergraduate courses in the same way – through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) website.

The UCAS institution code for the University is S84.

Option three: The University's overseas offices

If your child is applying as an International student, they can get in touch with one of our overseas offices.

These offices can answer your questions on what is needed to study in the UK. Contact one of our offices to get started on your child's application.

Our staff are all experienced and will be able to help you complete your application as well as give you information about:

  • Visas
  • English language requirements
  • Entry requirements
