International Application
How to apply
Students from outside the European Union can apply to us directly via our online application form, while applicants for undergraduate courses can also apply via Universities and Colleges Admissions System (UCAS).
To access and complete the form, you will first need to register and then choose the level of study you are interested in applying for. Once submitted, your application will be assessed by our Admissions Team, and an offer will be made based on the supplied information and submitted documents.
A list of countries that we have country-specific information available can be found here. Where applicable, our regional offices and educational agents can also offer additional support with your application.
Applying through UCAS
Undergraduate applicants can also apply via UCAS, if they wish to apply to more than one university. To access the system visit the UCAS website where you will find full instructions and guidance there to help you through the application process.
After you have applied
The International Admissions team aim to make any offers within 2 working days of receiving applications made directly online.
